- In the August '92 Macworld (U.S./Canada) Quick Tips, there is a
- rather in depth advice on what kind of marbles you can buy to
- replace that light little trackball. You need the smoothest 25 mm
- marble you can find. I am going to try out this suggestion to
- find a heavier ball for an Appoint Mouse pen I own. It's been
- useless so far because the ball is so light it won't turn the gears
- properly, making the mouse great for drawing straight lines andnothing else.
