the 'nudge' button

just a quick one today,
the 'nudge' button, the bane of the average msn user.
what is it's use other than to annoy? (rheatorical question to the annoying comments people, you know who you are)
i'll be having a quite normal conversation with one of my contacts when suddenly my computer contracts parkinsons disease and windows
vibrate left right and centre. this is supposedly a nudge, although to be fair it's more of a tremor.
the use of this button will annoy anyone you use it on, for you see there is already a fairly good warning system that shows when you've just received a message,
a orange flashing icon and a sound like a car alarm. if you're not sharp enough to release this might mean something, you probably won't release that the vibrating window is also a warning.
in fact, if you're that daft you're more likely to duck under the table mistaking it for an earthquake.

it is for this reason that i think that 'nudge' should be changed to 'prat about'
