In complete agreement with above. I guess what I was trying to say was, if I was forced to choose between a trackball and a mouse, a mouse may have a bit of edge, as I thought that was the original question (sort of). Neither one is suitable for any kind of freehand tracing situation. I am going to get a tablet. When I have to clean up the edges of a shape freehand using a trackball, all I can do is to blow up the image quite a bit so that any error won't show up too much in the original size. In any other case, freehand tracing using these input devices (if one wants to do it with any level of accuracy), is next to impossible. I know it :-). Cheers, Ken
