I mean button. :-v I HATE pages with js forms (just because its js) and "uncomplete" forms. I love surfing and finding information with just my trackball. The imense power of linux gpm mark/copy - paste, makes us undeniable lazy. I actually got to go looking for the extra :' ' to fetch'n copy the "virtual" enter... takes a few extra ms at than, but I don't have to move a finger. If I got the button I don't have to think about it, without it I got no choice. > > -- > Some people have a "gift" link here. > Know what I want? > I want you to buy a CD from some indie artist. > http://cdbaby.com/from/lynch > Yeah, I get a buck.
