I've always disliked real mice, because the paper/notes/flotsam that encroaches on my pc doesn't want to give up the real estate. Because of that, I went to trackballs, but it's always annoyted me that trackballs seem to pick up dust bits, and then work with a very rough feel to them, unreliably jamming. Because of this, when I saw the little square plastic, I think they're called touchpads, on some Mac portables, I thought they were great. No moving parts to get gummed up! Only problem is, I don't do portables, I go for towers. Does anyone know of a touchpad mouse that's sold as an add-on (prefereably a serial interface) that I can buy, that will let me smash that darn balky trackball against the wall? If I have the name for the kind of mouse I'm referring to wrong, I'd appreciate being corrected, too.
