I agree ... the 'hand' (not to be confused with Adam Smith's "invisible
hand") is quite usefull, especially when working with big diagrams. Last
week I tried modelling an electronic-commerce shop on the internet and I
kept scrolling, zooming, scrolling and so on to find what I needed. The
hand would make a great improvement.
Oh yeah, about the trash-can... There's a great article in "The Economist"
of this week. On the cover it says: "Now bust Microsoft's trust".
Underneath that is a picture of the recycle-bin with Bill Gates' head in
it and the text "Recycle Bill". Pretty cute ;-)
