- I played with the "joystick" on the new 700 at a show a few weeks ago.
- They have come up with some kind of name for the thing that is
- completely boring. I think that they should call it the "Stud Mouse".
-
- It is bright red, located between "G" and "H". It hardly moves at
- all. As you push on it, the mouse pointer moves in the direction you
- were pushing. As you push *down* more, the speed of the mouse pointer
- movement increases! As you are using the Stud Mouse with your index
- finger, your thumb naturally rests above the two mouse buttons,
- located beneath the space-bar. Really slick!
