Lines: 30 In reference to that device that sits on the user's head and moves the cursor in response to head movements : Remember those "Now there's a mouse that flys" ads? This is them. The company is Personics in Concord, MA 01742 I bought their original model that assumes the use of at least one appendage to work the mouse button (below the space bar, where your thumbs naturally rest). I am extremely impressed with the quality and attention to detail with respect to making it easy and convienient. The user wears a very light headset which interacts with a small box that sits on top of the mac (not obstructing the vents at all). It plugs into the mouse port, and the original mouse can be plugged into it. Switching between the headset and mouse is done with a click. My understanding is that there is a more expensive setup that includes a blow switch for the mouse button, and a desk accessory that puts a simplified keyoard on the screen, and allows typing to ANY application with a point and a click. I have no idea if there is one that works with the ADB. Andy Jewell -- I have no connection with these folks -- -- except for being a satisfied customer --
