Looks cool, Al!
I think it has been proven that users can input with greater ease and rapidity if they are able to stick with one input device at a time.
Pure mouse input can be very rapid, where you are just click-click-clicking through menus, etc.
However, text entry is more rapid (once you learn the screen setup), when you type/tab/type/tab/type/tab.
Users experience a significant loss of efficiency when they have to mouse to an area, drop the mouse, place both hands on home keys, type, pickup the mouse, mouse to an area, etc. etc. etc.
BTW - You crank out some neat looking images. What program do you use for your screenshots and whatnot?
