Yah, ditto. I'd own a Lexmark keyboard w/trackpoint for my desktop
machine if they made them with bus mice connectors (instead of PS2
connectors) or if I could find a converter gadget. Unfortunately I can't
even find a trackball with bus connector anymore, so I've been using a
normal mouse (ewww...) since my Logitec trackball died.
[To show the extend of my obsession, I had superglued the logitec to
the right edge of my keyboard so I could keep my hands in roughly the same
place and work with the 'board in my lap....]
