Let me put in a word about the Apple wireless trackpad. I doubt it's
got support in Plan 9, although it works from plan9port on the Mac. I
am devoted to it now: I use it for scrolling. Right hand for pointing
and clicking, left hand for scrolling. Works in acme, sam, etc. plus
of course all the other (non-Plan 9) tools in the hostile environment.

I may be the only person in the world who works like this, and is
therefore happy to move not one but two hands off the keyboard to use
2-d input devices.
