Hello Chris I would have thought that it was more difficult to orientate yourself. Sure, you could remember the sequence of elements in a website. But how, for instance, on an iOS device or a trackpad can you work out, without vision, how menu elements there are in a row on the screen? After all, as you move from row to row, you don't have any indicator. Can you see what I'm trying to say?
As for the way you do things on the dark side, that really doesn't interest me to be honest, as it's a virtual environment which handholds the user all of the time.

I admit to being lazy and use the keyboard, but at some stage I might give the trackpad a go. Guess i'm just used to my other laptops. And by the way this does not just aply to web surfing.
