A couple of years ago there was some discussion of alternatives to mice. Two stuck in my brain: 1 -- Putting trackballs on the bottom of the keyboard so that you could move IT like a mouse, 2 -- Giving each person a starset mike, and having them whistle to the cursor. you can whistle in two ranges; high for the Y axis, low for the X. There was also some claim that whistling to your terminal would also reduce stress. david
