The system caret helps when you ARE using a screenreader or magnifier, 
and it should be used automatically in that case, as screenreader 
software relies on it to track where on the screen you are looking at.  
If you are not using a screenreader, then Emacs's built in cursor is 
customizable, so you can make it as visible or unobtrusive as you need. 
The system caret is always a blinking thin black bar.
