Even better, get a trackball. You rest your hand in place and only move your thumb (plus occasionally click with a finger). Plus, you never run into that PITA issue where your mouse goes off the edge of the mouse pad, but you need to scroll further, so you have to lift the mouse, pull it back

Updating them shouldn’t be an issue – always maintain a backup of the FM9 original files in case something goes south. Make sure you’ve updated FM12 before upgrading the FM9 files. For learning, I always recommend Matt Sullivan’s FM book Unstructured FM11 as the FM bible. From: Steve Madison
