Compare the time it takes to type "DIR<return>" with double-click. If you
notice, it takes a lot less time to double-click than it does to type the
command. I took a stopwatch to the two machines and found that it took about
half the time to execute a command on the Mac than it did on the PC. Oh, by
the way, I type at 98 WPM, so I'm no slouch at the keyboard, but even I
appreciate (and use) the mouse and cursor keys.
