Here's a thought. The local Goodwill store has plenty of old keyboards, you could probably pick one up for around five to ten bucks. Most of them still work, the former owners probably upgraded to one of those WinEnhanced boards. If not, you're only out ten bucks at most. You might not find anything USB or later, but you should find a bench-warmer or two for your good old IBM PC AT
Currently using a Logitech 3-button trackball myself. It's nice when you use the computer next to your bed, and you don't have much for a desk. No mouse pads, no need to find a hard surface.
I suppose a fourth button fo the pinky would work, but the I can't wrap it around the base to hold the thing standing up...
I agree to a point. I do see that Israel has pulled off a lot of the same stupid crap as the rest of the Arab world. I also see that the US has basically overlooked a lot of it because back home supporting Israel is as much of a sacred cow as the abortion issue.
I think that the only way that the Israel-Palestine issue is to get both sides to sit down, and if they cannot hammer out an agreement in a short time, then deploy troops to the area and create a freaking DMZ around Jerusalem.

But, alas, I'm weird

Insensitive? Sure. Realistic? Just wait...
