Summary: Trackballs are fun, too!

Hey, for a good time try using Marble Madness with a trackball!   That's
the way it seems it was meant to be played!  I also tried using a stupid
joystick, and it is next to worthless.  I found it easier to use the mouse
instead of the joystick.

I fiddled around with a surplus trackball that I bought at a hamfest for $10.
The thing is built like a tank, but a joy to use.  I'm not sure why marble
maddness has seperate selections for mouse and joystick; I use mine in mouse
mode.

I also use the trackball fiddling around with the workbench too.  One thing
you can say for it:  it needs less table space which is at a real premium
around my amiga.
