can we create two mouse pointers?

[Phillip Guerin]

Dear iogear -

I'm searching for a program that will enable you to have
two mouse pointers on the screen at a time; (controlled by
two mouses ie left & right hands)

Why? Cause then you can have pointers placed at two points
on the screen. So for example; one could
be used for the text selecting in a wordprocessor; while
another can stay at the top of the screen and
work on the formatting.

This in my viewpoint; could represent a 20% gain in
effectiveness.

Anyone thought of this? I don't have the tech ability to
develop it myself; but I do think it would be very
worthwhile for a budding developer.

How much coffee have you had this morning, Phillip? ;-)

Google is an amazing tool - I put in the search term "two simultaneous
mouse pointers" and look what I got:

Inspired by your example, I found a keyboard with dual mouse pointers!
