You're absolutely right. One very cool solution is an optical trackball. I have a Kensington which I like a lot. Unfortunately, it has no middle button or scroll-wheel. ...
I have had two of them, one two button and one four button and love them. Unfortunately, both died an early death, hardware. At us$100 a pop, I will not try again.
My wife and / /I each have a Logitech Trackman Wheel trackball, with 2 buttons and a scroll wheel which serves as the 3rd button. We love them, and wouldn't have anything else -- in particular no mouse. They cost about $40. A trackpad is a barely acceptable alternative, which serves as a necessary evil on our laptops, since laptops don't have trackballs any more. John Perry
