You mean those horrible nipple things? Ewwww. Ewwww. Damn things get the tactile feedback *completely* wrong. They're even worse than those awful little mousepads that you stroke. Frankly, nothing comes even close to a real mouse for feedback and ease of use. Maybe a stylus. But that's it. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
