Whoa. It drove me crazy! I hate an interface that tries to guess what  
I want to do. A click is a quick, easy event to generate. Interfaces  
that respond to mouse points feel like waving a loaded gun around  
without quite knowing just when it will decide to fire.

If fact, I think I'll create an interface that eliminates mouse  
pointing and only responds to clicks. Let's see... one click  
activates the top rightmost button, two clicks pulls down the first  
menu, two and a half clicks chooses menu item 1 of menu 1...
