Halbane;

I worked for 9 years in mechanical design, using AutoCad
I do graphics for web design/programming
I play with Bryce-3D as one of my hobbies.



So given the choice, I would probably grow a third arm/hand too.

Bit of history;
For many years, Bill Gates was not a "Mouseketeer". He also hated the continual switching back and forth that Windows wants. It is for this reason that most of the keyboard alternatives to mousing, within the OS, still exist.
