	In Response To: my thoughts on the keyboard vs mouse debate (Soapstone) : Being a keyboarder-turned-mouser, I must say that keyboarding is perfectly : fine, especially in M1, but in M2, M°, and AO, mouse-looking with : InputSprocket allows for better control over your aim and movement. : However, the process of switching from keyboard to mouse is very : difficult, because initially you will... suck. This is what seems to turn : off a lot of people to mouse-looking; they try using the mouse, find it : exceedingly awkward, and then give up on it. This is okay; one can still : kick ass in Marathon with keyboard-looking, but in multiplayer games, : mouse skills really pay off. Using the mouse means changing the keys to WASD for me. Once I do that I have no difficulty using the mouse except for punching. I found the tranistion quick & painless. however in multiplayer games I found the framerate droped to about 0.5 per second (using mouse) (2 machines, g4 450 host, 225mhz 601e parasite).
