I don't generally tend to use a mouse anyway, but I'm in the
minority. 

Although I subscribe to the FreeBSD religion, a different sect of
Unixen is rapidly emerging as a VERY popular free Unix option, based
on PCs.  Linux use is increasing at an astounding rate, and, for
upcoming versions of xemacs, we should take into account the growing
number of potential "recruits" from the Free Unix arena.
