For those who like trackballs (I'm one) why not just plug one in? Since they don't use desk space, you're not hauling the cord around obstacles, etc. I don't care for the Logitek, I think the ball is too small and in the wrong place. I have 2 Kensington optical wired t/b's and they work fine. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
