- Mike, I use Glidepads with a PC laptop (one is built-in; the
- other, in an external keyboard) and like them well enough
- because they don't take up desk space, even though a mouse
- gives better control. It would be nice to use one with my
- Amiga, too. The problem is, I--or someone--would have to write
- a driver so the Amiga could use it. I don't think Alps has
- one. (If they're listening...)
