  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....]
