Atari's laptop (the "STacy") replaces the mouse with a small trackball on the righthand side of the keyboard. I haven't used one, but from all reports it works quite well. Apparently the machine is a big hit with the professional musician crowd, since like all of the Atari machines it has built-in midi ports. Has anyone had any first-hand experience with one of these critters? How good is the display? BBB -- Bob Bright Dept. of Philosophy University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Man R3T 2N2 (204) 474-9105
