    I use a computer with a large trackball and it makes my arm ache after using it for a long time, but the other person on the computer really likes it. Can I add a wireless mouse and use it when I'm using the computer ... or will it ***** everything up.

    Thanks

    I do not know about a wireless device but I have both a PS2 Mouse and a USB mouse on this machine.

    I stick with PS2 as the main one becasue it is always there in DOS, Safe Mode and all.

    When we Play Golf I use one and my Wife uses that other.

    And I have a PS2 mouse, a USB mouse and a Wacom tablet - they all co-exist peacefully :)

    At one time the PS2 mouse was a serial mouse - no problems.

    I Have a PS2 trackball and keyboard and also a USB Intel Wireless keyboard and mouse all running on same machine.

    Never had any problems with co-existance

    And as BillyBob points out the PS2 setup is nice for those times when USB may not be available.

    Cheers,
    ICE
