I tried doing this in Windows once using a free utility. I thought it
could be a good idea but once I'd tried it I realised it was awful! How
do you get on with it?
When I want to close an app I like to push the mouse blindly to the top
right and not worry about stopping. Same thing with when I want to click
'start' or 'K' or whatever. With it wrapping I was mis-clicking all over
the place :D
