ONe thing to remember when designing the interface for any program, never make me have to use my mouse to use a feature. If I can't do it without leaving the keyboard, I probably won't. If it's important, and I can't do it without a mouse, you just lost a customer. I have spoken to many non CS types who hate being forced to use a mouse as well. If you want to put all your cool features on buttons and mouse driven menus, go for it, but make them accessable via keystroke as well. Jamie Bowden System Administrator, iTRiBE.net
