Re: Green-screen versus browser

James,

I didn't say you couldn't.  What I said was that proper keyboard
support (including sensible accelerator combinations) was faster for
data entry.  The mouse should be supported too, but in data entry
situations, it is often much faster to never lift your hands from the
keyboard.

The mouse is useful in many scenarios, but IMHO efficient data entry
is not one of them.
