   I find a light pen as difficult to use as a mouse, if not more.
Additionally, various experiments have shown that a mouse is faster and
less error prone than a light pen for pointing to a specific spot on the
screen (this is from a rather famous reference on the subject -- I'll send it
to you if you wish).
