I used one for a couple of weeks, after a bit of practice it as quite handy.

the worst thing with a mouse is that it takes one hand away from the
keyboard, for oushing buttons on the desktop that are hard to reach from
the keyboard it was fine, for layout work it was a little awkward, but not
really much worse than a mouse.

 RJT>> Anybody know of a good source of info for these?
