Well,,,, I don't kno how well trained my index finger is, but it is
defenetly the cleanest..... :)
AND.. I had a chance to play with the new clit-III at Comdex, and I found
that it responds much faster, it seems to stop faster too... also, they
put a new type of rubber head on it, the y call it a "cat's tongue", it
kinda rough. Also, they made the mose buttons look likethe TP700 again,
BUT, now you can kinda push em down and forward, and they lock in the
push position, the lady at the demo said it for "drag n drop"... as if I
couldn't do it before..
