Cj, At times I have had the need to operate the mouse while entering numbers on a number pad, so instead of switching back and forth with my right hand, (I am very right-handed) I tried using the mouse left-handed, so I could enter the numbers with my right. I have been a left-handed mouser ever since! I can grasp the mouse with my left index finger on the left button. This keeps me off the right button til I need it, and I can just move the finger over to it. Try it, you'll like it. Enjoy!

Would a trackball mouse work bettter since she would not have to clutch the mouse to move it? She had always used a Mac which has a one button mouse. I set up the PC for her since I had an extra. Works great, just need to get a mouse that she can't torture with her temors. Are there keyboards with larger buttons? That might help, too. > > Any other hints you have would be helpful, I'm sure. > > Thanks! > > Cj > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn > Friend is 54, diagnosed at 49, from Indiana ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
