If I can find an ADB 3-button mouse, so much the better.  I'd rather 
go that route and leave my serial port clear for attaching my Palm or 
ReB.

And, yes, I'm a big trackball fan.  But the price is too high for the 
trackball, and they tend to be bulkier than I want to carry around. 
A regular mouse would be just great...

Still open to suggestions, and thanks for the help,

Chris
