Hi -- newbie to the group, here, first-time-posting via Imdat Solak's
"Halime" newsreader. I'm using GNU Emacs (powerpc-apple-darwin6.2.2) -
Andrew Choi's port to OS X - on a Titanium PowerBook G4 1Meg machine.
The "touch- pad and single-clicker" is OK for most stuff but I'm finding
the lack of a "real" mouse for emacs kinda restrictive. Looking for
your thoughts (or pointer to good places where such thoughts are
collected?) about which USB trackballs are good for xemacs. I know
that 3-button trackballs exist, and I hear that emacs can deal with
them smoothly on the Mac. Smallish size of the trackball is kinda
important -- I don't want too large a wart on the side of my PB while
editing. Whaddayathink?

Try:

I've got a trackball [Kensington Expert Mouse Pro] with four ordinary
buttons, one wheel and six DirectLaunch buttons. The four buttons are
behaving as click, drag-click, double-click and right-click. In context
where it is relevant, the wheel behaves as middle-click.
