I'm sure :)

This is the most curious (and maddening!@!!@#$) thing about reading the posts
on this list - some correspondents have a problem with certian hardware,
software, or hardware and/or software combinations that pose no problem for
other members of the list.  I know I scratched my head when people wrote about
problems with MWave under Win95, 'cos it works fine on my ThinkPad.  Now the
shoe's on the other foot!

On the other hand, attaching the GlidePoint to the TP instead of attaching a
mouse added a good 15-30 seconds onto my best Solitaire time!!  Goodbye,
GlidePoint!  <BG>
