Death to mice IMO.  Also on the RIP list is the Vista, which might (have)
be(en) better for those less coordinated with their thumb.  Rather wish the
Marble and the Vista stuck around.

Use a M$ 2 button serial when I tinker with X every now and again, since I
can't find a decent trackball.  Without a damn wheel.  To be fair a serial
backup mouse is handy.
