It is interesting how much faster a keyboard becomes after you use and
memorize all the commands.

For example take WP for DOS versus Word for Windows. I think of how
disruptive it is, sometimes, to look up and postion that mouse on a
menu, or in some programs trying to figure out what an icon might do.
Oh well it sells computers and for certain applications, a GUI is an
important advantage.
