MPX

[ted leslie]

(touched on this in my just posted vista/macOS UI post)

it had been a while since i read about mpx, here is a good link,
there is a aftermarket MS sol'n that came out a bit (months) prior to
this,
I had read it was going to become standard in X, and thus standard in 
a Linux distro, and that you could option key between cursors (not just
have to have two or more physical pointing devices). Not sure where
status is at.

So it seems now there is a proprietary soln for Win32, a opensource
sol'n for X,  i see one google hit for  dual cursor dual mouse on OSX,
but appears to link to a page that no longer references it.

this is for those who might be interested in MPX 

need to dig more and find out if there is a dual pointer HW mouse that
linux supports that works with MPX (on X)
