>Are your users really smart enough to know what the I beam means or even notice the mouse pointer changes? The reason I ask is in a former life I used to teach intro to PC skills at a Technical School and my students always seemed amazed to realize the mouse pointer gave visual clues and they couldnt never figure out why they didnt notice it before when it came up in the Access portion of the course... < bg > shame on them too! =D)

Well, in my case some may, some may not. :-) However, I know what it means and I want it to mean the right thing. :-)
