No Don, I do not have a trackball. I use the 4-button mouse made by

when it comes to mice, stick with MS when using Windows.

This device is indeed made by Microsoft. It is a track ball with
4-buttons and a scroll wheel. I did say that is a Microsoft product
in my original post, perhaps you missed it.
I just don't use the Microsoft-supplied enhancement software that
comes with it.
What I like about the track ball approach is that it takes up so
little real-estate on my keyboard drawer, and I can continue moving
in one direction as far as I want without running off a mouse pad and
having to re-position the device. The scroll wheel can be set to
scroll the screen any desired number of lines and of course, just as
with a mouse system, the track ball sensitivity is also adjustable.
I think everyone agrees that trying to draw or manage areas, say in
Photoshop, is almost impossible with a track ball, barely tolerable
with a mouse, but really easy with a tablet.
