"cold, dead finger"s, eh?!? <G> I too love my TurboMice, first thing my new-to-me Quicksilver got was an iMate ADB-USB adapter so's I could use my beloved oldey TurboMouse 4 (and of course an Apple Extended KB II!) Isn't it strange how input devices really haven't improved since circa 1990? I've tried all sorts of mice/T-balls/T-pads and KBs, but I've not yet found anything superior (or even equal) to the above combination. With 'Books, I use a USB Kensington Orbit. While not tiny, it's just compact enough to slip into a 'Book case. The ball is smaller than the billiard-sized balls I so love with my desktop, but large enough to be unfiddly, unlike some other portable trackballs I've seen. Cheap too, I think I paid $12 or thereabouts for a pair of 'em (brand new!) on eBay. I confess, it's mostly for gaming, ever play a FPS with a T-pad?!? When bopping about however I still mostly use the trackpad, it does rather defeat alot of the portability thing dealing with a dangling T-ball. No matter, I'm quite comfortable switching between them. I have just never warmed up to mice, though I'm certainly spoiled having for so long used TurboMice! dan k ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
