Re: clarification of Definitions Survey - pointing device focus

Hi Jim,

Sorry for the confusion, the part about multiple pointing foci reminded 
me of Multi-touch computing (I know they are actually different issues). 
While currently, each person has their own single pointer, single focus 
etc., that might not always be the case on every system.

I don't think it's a major problem, just something to keep in mind.

Cheers,
Jan
