Good point Roger, but like backups prevention is often something that
people look back on an wish they had done after the event!
I find that for work the trackball is an ideal tool once you get over
the initial shock of doing things a bit differently. It allows me to use
an optical mouse at home, since the damage isn't being done at work and
because I spend less time at the computer at home than I do at work. Now
I am used to it I swap effortlessly between the two. They are, however,
utterly useless for gaming!

Good idea, although sadly I don't think I will be able to make the
meeting due to the usual family stuff that goes on at the weekend for me.
