I am a student that works in the Adaptive Technologies for Information and Computing (ATIC) Lab at MIT. You can find our website at http://web.mit.edu/atic/www/
Our website lists plenty of pointing devices but like you said, they require the use of a thumb. What I would recommend is that your friend obtain voice recognition software like one user of our lab who also has wrist problems. For example, use Dragon NaturallySpeaking for text entry and navigation:

That's just to advertise us, but I would fully support your support of any FIRST Robotics team in the world. Canada, USA, Brazil, England... etc!
Bush got more votes than any American in history.
That statement isn't statistically valid. There was a long period of time when the population of the USA was less than number of votes Kerry received in this election. What's your point?
Our small town has roughly 30,000 people... we lack large corporations to sponsor us, yet we were fortunate in the last few years to gain funding from a large university. Our team consists of 24 high school students, 3 engineers, 1 teacher, 2 adult volunteers, and 4 college mentors. Our budget is nowhere close to those of the high end teams, yet we've done well each year. We've won a regional (seeded 2) and we've also gotten finalist in addition to a few design awards in the last 4 years. FIRST is expensive but through some fundraising and brainpower, students and engineers can create something that is successful. They just have to be smart and think creatively. Plenty of rookies and 2nd-year teams have done this and have been extremely successful.
Yeah, people don't understand their own vocab.

Isn't It Ironic?

Yeah, people are pretty stupid. If you were still in school and taking any english or lit course, you'd be instantly slapped down for not being able to define irony. Lol. Especially if you try to use it in the wrong context.

Feel free to browse around the website for information about RSI and ergonomics. Unfortunately, the lab is only open to MIT students and faculty.

GO CORNELL ROBOCUP!! ... Where is my jersey, Patrick?
What a lousy claim. Spymac and aventuremail.com both offered 1gb of free email prior to this.
