I knew there was a reason track balls always seemed attractive. Think about it. Most track balls are small as a mouse or ones can be found that small. Track balls don't need a pad or surface and with som velcro or double face tape can attach to a keyboard. Not bulky and doesn't have to be a permanent mount and no extra surface needed. Now if some keyboard folks are out there how about putting trackballs into the keyboard. ***************************************************************** *My .signature is not working.
