But i do not like the mouse and I don't even have one (on any of my 4

productive environment.
I didn't want to offense anyone with my opinion regarding the state of
the IDE.

really convinced by the company-politics anymore (and I really have been
a "BorMAN")

Really good to hear, that there are people with concepts, that go far
beyond a 'proof of concept'....
