ISTR BeOS uses the same annoying WinMac half-mouse-half-keyboard model that keeps me from being able to shove the keyboard out of the way when I need to reclaim desk space.

AFAICT they're all using the moral equivalent of MIME under the covers, and not an olive loaf in site.There's stuff above here
