As someone who is 6'3, and has to spend most of his day in a world built for people 5'6-5'11 (airplane seats, car seats, chairs, clothes, glasses, you name it) I think everyone should just get bigger. :) You have a good point about the tracking problems though, I have a black mousepad now but used to just use the top of my desk (faux-wood paneling finish) and had no problems... But it did suck on a special (and way too expensive) specially-coated track pad that was supposed to be used with ball-mice. -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
