Ok sorry for filling up board space with this but couldn't think of a more knowledgeable bunch to ask.
My mam uses an iBook for a bit of surfing, photo stuff and word processor etc. Now the mouse pad and buttons have become very dodgy and she is really struggling with it. No decent mac service places around here and to be honest I guess it could work out expensive to fix.
So she has been asking about just using a mouse alternative. The problem is she has not got a great deal of feel/control in her hands due to having multiple sclerosis. She has tried using a regular mouse, but her co-ordination makes it very dificult to use and she managed much better with the mousepad on the mac.
My question is do you guys think one of the trackball designs or any other type of mouse alternative would be suitable for her to use? Can anyone reccomend a specific product, baring in mind that budget here is very important.
Thanks for your help and look forward to replies/suggestions.
