Also on the RIP list is the Vista, which might (have) be(en) better for those less coordinated with their thumb. Rather wish the Marble and the Vista stuck around.

To be fair a serial backup mouse is handy. .02 Jeff Mountin - jeff@mountin.net Systems/Network Administrator FreeBSD - the power to serve '86 Yamaha MaxiumX (not FBSD powered) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
