Funny.
From cords, knobs and buttons galore to clean lines, an antique chair and a baby monitor.
Great!

I've used trackballs forever, and got the ExpertMouse about a year ago. It caused me a bit of discomfort initialy, so I put a 1" x 1" wooden bead along the underside of the unit and the wrist pad along the left hand side. So now with the left edge raised an inch, the whole thing slopes down to the right. My wrist is no longer turned fully over trying to be flat... and it's very comfy.
Ditto. Used trackballs forever & I've got an Expert Mouse as well. Love it.
Good idea about tilting it to the right. I just hold my hand in a tilted position -resting it on it's side as much as possible . Definitely better than keeping it flat on top of the trackball all the time.
Don't know why they named it a 'mouse' though...

It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.

How do you like the XoXboX? Is it like a 303? I just saw one of those on eBay.

I like it a lot, paid 850 for it though which is a little bit painful but I had to have it.
I'd say if you can find one for that price you should snatch while you can, in the next couple of years they will all be going up in price cause the kits are discontinued.
soon coming to my set up (already bought on ebay and currently being shipped) is a nord micro modular and a yamaha ry-30. that pretty much marks the end of my buying for the next 10 years as my wife is starting to give me that look. Today I just got a casio sk-8 at a thrift store too, sooooo excited about that one.
