Hmm, maybe I'll give it a try then next time I need a new one. Leeme see if I have the names of these wireless ones right: 1. First there was "Wireless Trackman" and it sucked. 2. Then there was "TrackMan Silver" (which was a little better but not great?). 3. Now there's something new that's called "Wireless Trackman" just like the first one, but it's good. ?
