Re: Demonstrating Click and Drag Selection on Paper

Misti,

Maybe you could come up with a medical analogy. Click on the donor's heart.
Drag the heart to the recipient. Let go of the heart.

I know that doesn't really answer your question, but thought of a surgeon,
who is a computer neophyte, using a computer while operating on me, scares
me just a tad. Uh-oh, windows just locked up, can we re-boot and finish
before we run out of anethesia?

Seriously, I spend so much of my time, as a writer, dealing with the
technology it leaves less and less time for actually writing. I find myself
just trying to keep caught up and I cometimes wish I could go back to the
old days of only dealing with printed documentation. My point is that will
this new technology really make better surgeons when they start adding
computer savy to their skill set. Will they still have time for keeping up
with new medical developments. Not to mention the reality of putting lives
on the line (or should I say on-line?).

Just don't do CTRL-ALT-DEL on my heart.
