- Does anybody have any suggestions for a cost-effective wireless trackball
- or mouse device? Here's the twist: I need something that is hand-held
- (rather than desk-top) that I can use as a PC mouse in standing
- presentations with a projection screen.
-
- I would imagine that some enterprising folks have taken it upon themselves
- to produce such an item, not unlike the laser pointers that are used
- in presentations often these days; I just haven't had any luck poring
- over the pages of BYTE and PCWeek. If all else fails, I hope at least to
- find an infrared mouse that I can train a universal remote (the type that
- you buy for your stereo/tv/vcr/etc.) to emulate.
-
- Any suggestions, pointers, product names, etc. via email
- (dobbs@psych.stanford.edu) would be appreciated.
-
- thanks in advance,
- Bob Mayes
