Subject: Mouses vs trackballs

2004-06-22 Thread Vladimir James
Another angle on the mouse discussion.

All mouses have one thing in common. They require frequent use of the
muscles that lift the arm (deltoid, trapezius, etc). Anyone experiencing
regular stiffness or aches in the shoulder or neck would be well advised
to consider using a trackball. It does not require as much use of the
muscles mentioned, as the palm of the hand, and thus, the arm may remain
at rest while the fingers do the work.

i'm using trackball for years, it takes far less desktop space than a 
mouse and you can cover a much larger screen area without lifting it

Hey all,

I did decades of graphics work etc with a mouse and began to develop 
repetitive strain injury. I purchased a trackball back in the closing 
days of Cannington AppleCentre and after persisting for about a week, 
my strain injury disappeared. I LOVE my Logitech Trackman (and my 
Wacom Tablet of course). I am now much more accurate and speedy with 
the trackball than I ever was with the mouse.  I highly recommend 
them.and remember..they may take a little while to get used to.


Regards

Phil
