Comment(by humdinger):

 I'm not quite sure I agree completely. I do think hiding the mouse pointer
 when a text box is active, so not to obscure the text you're about to
 write, is a good idea. I'm not so sure about hiding the pointer in general
 in Web+. Webpages provide much to explore with the mouse, mouse-over
 effects, links and title-tags etc. I think it may be a bit disorienting to
 look for your pointer, realize it's not there, begin to move the mouse
 around and go back to play spot-the-mousy. :)[[BR]]
 I know, this scenario sounds a bit exaggerated, but I do think that
 subconciously you'll experience some sort of stress that leaves you a bit
 annoyed and you may not even realize why.
