Blinking cursors

For the third (and, for the moment, final) post about the naked evils of word processing, I will rant about the cursor. There it sits, every time you pause, doing the equivalent of drumming its fingers on the table in impatience at having to wait for you. It never gets tired, never sleeps, just sits there blinking and winking and somehow making you feel very inadequate and slow. So you rush into typing the first thing that comes into your head without thinking too clearly about it, and bingo, you've proved the cursor right - you really are stupid.

There, I've just done it.
