- I use the computer at home (quite a bit each day...probably on average
- 3-4 hours) from the seat of my lazy-boy recliner :) Computer is up on
- a side stand, monitor is on a sliding/rotating arm and keyboard sits
- on my lap (off to one side so that the dog does not hit my escape key
- every time he puts the ball there for me to throw down the stairs).
- Not much room for anything but a track ball. I have had a couple,
- but the logitech has by far the smoothest feel to it. Really wish
- I could use one of the serial portable trackballs from them, but my
- motherboard has "jealous" serial ports. They don't work, I can disable
- them to the extent my bus trackball and internal modem work fine,
- but when you try to install a new serial card even disabled they
- refuse to allow the ports to work %( As it is I have the trackball on
- a sliding shelf arranged to move right up to the arm of the chair :)

- P.S. This thread used to be related to OS/2 I am sure....?
- P.P.S. Trying to run a full screen dos session of Design Cad 3D
- this last week (not tried it under OS/2 before) with
- my video 7 1024i video card selected with 256 color mode (640x480)
- and it displays fine, except when I move the cursor I get
- lots of snow and the picture jumps. I was told to try the
- Mouse exclusivity option for the session, but it did not
- seem to make any difference. Any suggestions?
- P.P.P.S. I never seem to get a response to any questions asked in a
- P.S. I wonder if I would get any response to a poll
- here asking folks to reply if they do not answer
- questions in P.S.'s? (actually, probably my own fault for
- being a little too long winded. like here :)
