Probably old news to you but...

On a whim, I plugged both my trackball and my conventional mouse in at the same time, just on the off chance that it would work. Sometimes I need the precision of a trackball, but a conventional mouse is easier to use to draw curves. I'd heard that some sort of switch is necessary, but apparently not in my case. Seems to work fine with no conflicts.

No, he would have only one cursor, but that he can control two different ways. Can be useful.

So, the point is that I'm somewhat surprised Winblowz didn't have a conniption about it. And it is VERY useful...it's handy to be able to click a mouse button without having to worry about accidentally jiggling the cursor...but drawing curves with a thumb trackball is a royal pain in the hinder portions.

Yeah. My laptop has a mouse and er that tracking surface I forgot what it's called, and both functions. If I move both but in oppsite directions, cursor stays in place.
