Every person; unique individual brings something to the machine just as the machine bring something to them and the interaction between the two makes amazing things happen
Andy Hertzfeld
What I find really nice about the mouse is not that it lets me work faster, which it does, but allows the quality of my interaction to be a lot greater instead of the mechanics of getting up and over and down and then getting to the place I want to be; I can quietly move the mouse and concentrate on what i'm gonna say when I get there and the quietness of interaction in my head is what is really valuable about the mouse to me.
