[comp.sys.amiga] Trackball vs. Mouse

antunes@ASTRO.PSU.EDU (Alex Antunes) (10/17/89)

  There is a trackball out for the Amiga that acts exactly as a mouse,
needs no converting.  I think it is made by Wico, but offhand I don't
guarantee it.  It costs under $50 (I got it as a cheap alternative to
a mouse), has two buttons and works great!
  I prefer it to the mouse because (as mentioned in the original posting)
if you have a crowded desktop, it takes almost no space.  It's also easier
to draw with when using paint packages (for me at least), and I won't even
bother raving about how great it is with MarbleMadness!

Hi folks.   The trackball I mentioned that works perfectly with the amiga,
requires no modification, etc.  is made by Wico, called the Command Control,
and I got it at the Memory Location in Wellseley, MA (the best Amiga store
in the world?) (617)-237-6846.  I recommend the trackball over the mouse,
in fact I recommend the store, too, if you live in Mass!
