Jim;

 >> Interesting... but most trackballs are a PIB to try to use as mice.

  How so?  Is it because of the fact that 'clicking and dragging' is awkward,
or am I missing something?  If the TB has a click-lock would this make it any
better?

  I like the idea of trackballs over mice because I'm generally a messy person
and have stuff scattered all over my desk.  Trying to use a mouse requires that
I clean off my desk! :-)  It's also been my experience that TBs stay a lot
cleaner than mice and require less maintenance.

  Didn't make it to Fry's yet, but maybe today or tomorrow.  $79.00 for the
combo looks much more appealing than $55 for the keybd + $60(+) for the mouse.

  Comments?

..Jim       O_o    AACK!
