Well Don. Why are you not using the MS software? That would be part of the
statement I noted as "stick with MS when it comes to Windows." I have never
liked trackballs. Tried it and never took to it. These devices are very much
a personal issue.
Anyway, hope all is well with you in So Cal. It was 92 here yesterday and
should be 85 today. I think we have your weather up here this week.
