Charles,
I agree that the mouse, support, could be added as a feature that people can turn on if needed. Obviously it works fine with it. I use Logmein which was $30 when I bought it nearly two years ago and it works wonderful without a mouse once you change the interface that allows the mouse to be moved regardless of where the finger touches the screen. Logmein is now free for remote only control. The $30 version is now $99 and allow many functions that don't really care about, but own since I paid the $30.
Thanks,
Carl W. Brooks
