Amusing (but very annoying) accessibility error

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Not about web-accessibility, but something that shows how a lack of
foresight, or a lack of concern about accessibility can really damage
the quality of what you present.

Today a power-cut took down my workstation and when it rebooted some
files had been damaged causing the mouse to no longer work.

I'm not a big mouse user, they're slow and bad for your health, but I
wanted to fix this, so I was trying a few things.

On attempting to install a mouse driver, I was presented with a
dialog that had no purpose other than to install a mouse driver.

The dialog didn't work without a mouse!

It made me vow to look at my short-cuts and tab-order more carefully
from now on :)
