Ditto on the joys of a thumb-driven trackball, with 2 mouse buttons and a scroll wheel. The only potential issue is that all the ones i've seen are for the right hand. That and a relatively inexpensive split keyboard (i have to confess i'm partial to the Microsoft Natural Keyboard!), and no wrist pain or shoulders up next to my ears. A sit-stand desk helps, too. ________________________________________ Joe Shisei Niski Portland, Oregon, USA 至誠 _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
