But that's the challenge of this aspect : to completely change the conceptual model of a web interface that all typical users have. Quite a challenge, though.

As I didn't see anything urging me to click, I didn't feel the need to click. The only trouble I had figuring out what to do was the page suggesting a solution to stop clicking with your mouse. It took me a while to understand the connection between the rubber case and the mouse. I wouldn't dismiss the point and click interface just yet. For one I'm not completelly satisfied by the menu I saw. It's certainly one of the best (no opverlaps and "hidden" links), but still too complicated for the less dexterous. I can well imagine my mother chasing boxes around the screen, clicking them to make them stop moving. That was an original interface.
