I have carpel tunnel and PD, and use a Scroll Mouse from Radio Shack . It has a vertical and a horizontal track dials PLUS a handy side button than can scroll itself slowly for reading. It wasn't too expensive and I love it! -----Original Message----- From: Cynthia Shook <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Friday, July 02, 1999 11:04 AM Subject: Re: When Disabled?
