Happy but for the 'stickmouse', finding it tediously unproductive after using a nice touchpad for years. Does anyone know of a usable compact external touchpad? The Cirque Easy Cat (http://www.cirque.com/cpages/?page=24) looks about the useful size, but Google has so far let me down regarding whether this might work with FreeBSD, PS/2 or USB. It seems to be a successor to the ALPS Glidepoint (too chunky, serial only) which has long been listed as supported. Or are there any others? Thanks in advance for any tips, Cheers, Ian
