Yeah, I've got a left hand. When I'm not typing, I mostly use it for
propping up my head while my right hand manipulates those three buttons and
the wheel.

Laziness rules! And Apple knows it. Isn't that why they developed the mac OS
in the first place? 'Course they messed up on that score when they decided
mice need only one button.

Hell, I'm thinking my 3-button wheel mouse needs a couple more buttons. And
maybe some flashing lights... I dunno.

And for the record, I think trackballs are pretty cool too. Never used a
tablet, but I like the idea.
