I'd like to point out that mice (or rather, pointing devices) come in
different flavours. IBM's trackpoint, is, in my view, rather different
device from usability perspective, and most of the mouse critique in
this thread or elsewhere doesn't apply to it, while many of the stated
benefits do.
I've recently gotten Lenovo's trackpoint keyboard, which, while not
being the greatest one I used, lets me use a trackpoint on a desktop
machine, which is rather nice.
Plan 9 interface in general seems to be very suitable for trackpoint devices.
