"...This little guy emulates a keyboard and mouse and intermittently moves or types. HOW GREAT IS THAT?..."

For the record, I think the idea is funny.

But, I've worked with technophobes. It's not their fault that they're afraid of keyboards, think that they're computer will explode, catch fire, or is plotting against them. And, they should be treated with mercy and compassion by those of us gifted with powers and abilities far beyond those of humanities Luddites.

In short, I can't recommend using that gizmo to torment some hapless soul, whose only fault was to be born too late.
