I've started using an optical mouse recently, on a Sun 386i.  They
have a couple of advantages.  Normal rolling mice tend to slide
around on desktops ... optical mice don't.  It's harder to orient rolling
mice, sometimes you have the mouse cockeyed and it goes awry ... optical
mice are very hard to get cockeyed.  Basically I have to work at using
the mouse a bit less than I do a rolling mouse.

I "think" that a trackball would be better than either..

what's wrong with getting a boing mouse?
