I understand that users of track balls find them superior to mice. They are now readily available as mice replacements. But I would like to see keyboards with track balls built-in. I'll bet there are some now or rsn. Comments? It seems to me that it would be nice to reach the ball without moving your fingers from the home row of the keyboard (unlike most cursor keys and function keys). I wonder how a location right below the space bar, reachable by either thumb, would work. Comments? ---- Christopher J.
