Just text?[edit]

Isn't the paradigm more broadly applied? To me part of the point is that no one would design a "shoot and point" interface. (Oh. Well, OK, a spray can is that.) A mouse is called a "pointing device", but true "pointing" devices are almost uselessly awkward; a mouse is useful bcz it moves the cursor, and then provides a means to act on that act of pointing: you point, then click.

Jerzy, you converted the camera redirect point and shoot to a disambig; this is a bad idea, since it's already in use by a lot of camera pages; so I put it back. Dicklyon (talk) 06:10, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
