This is true with any pointing device.  I swear by my TurboMouse,
but most people find it annoying to use (which keeps them off
my machine).  The UnMouse looks like a nice device.  If it's
anything like the touch pad on the old Apollo machines, I'll
love it (though the Apollo touch pads went out of vogue very
quickly).

One question: Does the UnMouse have an ADB thru port on it?
The TurboMouse does, which means that you can plug a mouse into
it if you need both.  I'd love to be able to have an UnMouse,
a TurboMouse, and a standard mouse all available so I can "choose
my weapon".
