| daveg2000:
Just a thought... Back in my prime when I was a kid, I always wondered if it was possible to spin a trackball real hard, and get your finger wedged in between the ball and the base or control panel. Is this something that physically could happen? I plan on putting in a trackball soon... and dont know if I want to have a plate on top of the cab or make the ball flush with the control panel. Is there anything to this, or just some kind of wierd fear that I should seek professional help for? |

I used to get my fingers pinched occasionally. This won't ever happen on a good trackball. When the rollers wear down the ball can rest low and it makes the gab bigger. If you mount with a plate and have a trackball that isn't worn then you should have no problems. It would be real hard to do it right without a plate though. Wade |

You apparently grew up after XO Football, right? If you hadn't, you'd KNOW that trackballs can eat your hand. |

I wouldn't worry about it. Of course when you type things like a poem, who knows what is possible. ;) |
| Thenasty:
put a 4-way joystick in front of it so you won't or can't spin the ball that hard, you really don't need to spin it very hard. What are you thinking before spinning the ball ? Stepping back a couple of steps and then run forward and spin the ball ? :P |
