[Cialug] OSX and two-touch control

I saw something on Digg or some such about OSX getting two-touch control
like the iphone has.  An vision of driving a computer with two mouses/mice
immediately popped into my head.  It would be weird but maybe not so bad.

Say you wanted to expand a window, instead of zeroing in on a tiny boarder
or maximize control, you just click on the window you want to adjust with
both mice, and drag it in the direction you want to expand to.

You could probably do some other stuff that would get more value out of some
of the wacky new window managers like beryl.

Everything old is new again.  Then again, it could be the next step in the
evolution of something like that display in the movie minority report.
