  1. Track balls on On Using X w/o the Rodent · · Score: 1

    I have an old serial logitech track ball that a friend gave me. It works fine under X. It has a very flat profile and a large button on each side. My window focus is set to follow the pointer.

    I have about 7 inches between the edge of my desk and my keyboard. The space immediately in front of the spacebar is where my trackball sits. I can stretch out a thumb to move the arrow, or even just run my wrist across the ball. Makes for a very low impact environment.

    It has to be a low profile design though. My parents have a Microsoft trackball and my strategy certainly wouldn't work well with it. It's larger than a mouse and has buttons in strange locations.


    On a different note, I am running TWM. I've been meaning to look into setting a mapping in my .twmrc that binds META+TAB to "f.warpring" or something. Has anyone had any success with this sort of thing?

  3. Re:Quest & Microsoft on Is Qwest's ISP Deal Really Worth the Hassle? · · Score: 2

    Actualy, I think they own 10 percent stock in MANY different ISPs and long distances carriers. I recall reading that the 10 percent limit is to avoid monopoly laws.
