I often drag a Trackman along with my 2.5lb netbook. ;-) Gets rid of
RSI, and practical even in an airliner seat in economy.

Those are pretty nice, $28 at Wally World, but my all-time fave
trackball is the Logitech Trackman Portable. It stands up like a
rounded monolith with the ball (and 2 buttons) on the left side and
the left button on top. The little tabs on the ball retainer ring
keep breaking on mine. I've gone through 4 cords and 8 retainers over
the past decade and a half. I may try one of the finger trackballs
they're importing from ChiKongWan these days. $11/free ship on eBay.
Or maybe I'll just go down to Harbor Fright and buy a mill, then make
my own ring retainer towers, damnit. Then I could fix all my old
trackballs. 'Bout time, huh?
Aluminum, or plastic?

I've a new (to me) laptop, and after the first long session, I went
bought a mouse. I'm considering one of the roll up keyboards, too.

It's eight fifty eight. Close enough!
