The shift key is such an intuitive way to cause a download when clicking.
Now, if you are dragging and dropping, holding shift does cause a copy (not
a move) of a file. And to think - we are all giving up the command line
for this!
 
Too bad they didn't think of dragging and dropping as a why to "copy" a
link (i.e, the document/program/file/whatever linked to) down to your
desktop - oh, I forgot, that should be coming in Windose 95...
 
It seems to me that if a GUI is effective, why not take away the keyboard
and save a few bucks and prevent lawsuits (or does mouse clicking appear
to cause problems too?).
