(And for the record, I am a laptop user - and I think the little trackpad and the silly nipple-in-middle-of-keyboard work so poorly for accurate positioning (the kind you need for, say, cut-n-paste) that I carry a Microsoft optical trackball and use that instead.)
The Ikon, originally the product of the Canadian Educational Microcomputer project, and eventually sold to Burroughs (whence it disappeared more or less at once), had a wonderful, huge, heavy, inertia-rich trackball. I fell in love with it immediately, and, when I couldn't have one, have wondered the world since, desperately trying to regain my lost love (or something even vaguely similar). ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org If determination, drive, and persistence were the sole qualifiers of success, toddlers would rule the world. victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
