I am using an Abaton ProPoint mouse on a MacII and I love it. Whenever I have
to use a normal mouse on one of our other systems I realize how much I like the
Abaton. My boss (an experienced Mac user) tried it and was not as impressed as
I am, so it may take you some time to get used to a trackball mouse. I started
using the ProPoint when I started using the Mac.

One thing I really like is the fact that it takes a set amount of desk space.
My desk is usually so crowded that a normal mouse doesn't have room to wander.
But that is a personal problem.
