be the case when a foot-operated mouse ("rat")

are voice-controlled...

Go read "The Mote in Gods Eye" by Jerry
Pournelle and Larry Niven.

Classic SF 'First Contact' novel. Then you will
be very afraid of someone who has a 'gripping
hand'....
LOL
I just sent this to Peter off-list:
I'm quite the fan of Slartitbartfast. His
fjords are beautiful! But then he had 13
fingers. Still don't quite trust mice tho.
Just finished reading Larry Niven's "The Mote In
God's Eye" and it's sequal "The Gripping Hand".
