Hi Rob,

Let me put in a word about the Apple wireless trackpad. I doubt it's
got support in Plan 9, although it works from plan9port on the Mac. I
am devoted to it now: I use it for scrolling. Right hand for pointing
and clicking, left hand for scrolling.

I sit at my desk with a computer (not a laptop) on the floor, a
keyboard in front of me, a mouse on the right and a trackpad on the
left.
On the rare cases I'm programming on a laptop, it's really the same
except for the location of the trackpad. In particular, there's still
a mouse.

I'm considering buying a Logitech M-S35 to help me learn sam/acme. My
only worry is that I'll wish I had a scroll wheel. It seems that
clicking the scroll bar whenever I want to scroll would take some focus,
and I shouldn't have to shift my focus to accomplish something as basic
as scrolling.
My vote would be for the scroll wheel. I don't like to reach for the
mouse if I don't have to, but when you're already using the mouse the
scroll wheel is extremely handy. Also, just because the mouse has a
scroll wheel it doesn't mean you have to use it. And of course the
wheel doubles as a

I usually just lurk here, but I didn't want anybody else to go through
3 different mice like I did (HP 3 button mouse, contour mouse,
evoluent mouse) before settling on the lenovo scrollpoint mouse. IMHO
it's the best option that's abundantly available, reasonably priced,
and comfortable to use.

I used the same setup until I got the Contour Mouse:

I'm another Lenovo scrollpoint user, though I don't care for it as
much as Joseph. I've used the magic mouse on Mac OS for plan9port and
drawterm with a couple of actions bound to swipe actions that has
worked well too. I've been curious about the contour mouse, though I
