A variety of magazines have had mini-reviews about the new laptop-
oriented trackballs. The reviews I have seen have been about 
Microsoft's BallPoint, Logitech's new product (I can't remember the
name right now), and a product called "Thumbelina".

Compaq is giving away a BallPoint with each new laptop/notebook
sold between now and June 30, but I've checked with three different
authorized Compaq dealers, and none of them has a BallPoint to
demo.

Has anyone out there in the great net world had a chance to use
any of these new products?
