Worst part of it all? It turns out that there's a very significant percentage of a post-industrialized nation's population for whom double clicking with the mouse is a very difficult task, mainly because _dragging_ and _single clicking_ are very similar to double clicking. Those people do far better with a typewriter-like interface, because they've damn well used typewriters in the past (because it used to be part of basic schooling). They're perfectly OK with typing "oowriter" on a command line. Now they can't, because pointing and drooling is the Officially Dominant Interaction Style.
