Seth I've been holding out trying the driver since I read that you were coming out with a newer one, I have a Acer Timelinex 1830T series, I see you also have an acer, do you think this new version is the one to try with us that do not have the trackstick? If so I will try it tonight and see what kind of results I get...Thanks for working on this :)
