If something can be used solely with a mouse, fine. But if a program requires keyboard input make it soley keyboard operational with mouse support being optional. For instance in MS Word since I've already got my hands on the keyboard I would much rather hit ALT F,S to save my document than to stop, drag the mouse up to file, click on it, slide down to save, click on it. I can ALT F,S before a person can even reach their mouse, it's much faster. Mr.T (Tracy Schell) from The Sunshine State.
