Bruce Johnson writes, <I used to have a very nice one that was marketed on the Mac as the Manta, it was a small (1-1/2") ball flanked by two wide buttons. Very easy to use with small hands, the woman who introduced me to one was no more than 5' 6" or so. I had a PC version here, maybe I can find a manufacturer.
You might like the Orbit, which is Kensington's little trackball.> Ehhhh, truthfully, I'm not inclined to try trackballs again (especially not if I have to actually BUY one and then get it INSTALLED somehow), but thanks anyway. I really love my mouse (and have the three spares should my present old faithful mouse die on me), plus I'm good enough at using and comfortable with a Powerbook trackpad. As to your lady friend who was 5'6 at most, yeah, that sounds a lot like me. I'm 5'6, 120-something pounds and small boned with little hands. If you know anything about the piano, when I used to compose/play, I could just reach an octave, and any time I wanted longer intervals (I was in love with 9ths particularly) I had to roll or otherwise arpeggiate them, because I didn't have big enough hands to just grab them like I could smaller intervals and chords. Me: Or perhaps because I was mousebroken ;-) You: ROFL. I really don't know how I manage to think those things up, but....hehehe, I do, on a fairly regular basis. My sig: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can change, and the weaponry to make the difference." Your reply: ROFLMAO!!! I snagged it somewhere off the Net, so feel free to snag it from me if you like it. When I get my "new" jazzed-up Beige back (PROBABLY NEXT WEEKEND!!!!!! YAY!!!!), I'll get back my FULL sig collection. Shortly before the botched upgrade, I had gone sig-hunting on the Net again and picked up numerous more goodies. <"Friends help you move. GOOD friends help you move bodies..."> I've got this one. Had it awhile. It's even on THIS old Mac. :-) ~Yersinia. ________ "The pen is mightier than the sword, but the bayonet gets the point across." -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
