Alan Cooper, in his interesting book "About Face: the essentials of
user interface design", says:
"Some people find it very difficult to manipulate a mouse. Their
rodent fear, like that of the pachyderm's, leads me to stick my
tongue in my cheek and call these people 'elephants'.
A good percentage of computer users are elephants, ...
What do you call a person who is the antithesis of an elephant?
Someone who really loves mice? A 'minnie', of course!"
