So it seems a mouse would be pointless (and pointerless :-) if used
with an eMate, that's all I wanted to know. If it can do all that would
be needed from the keyboard, it would be all the easier, so a mouse
would be slower. It's just that I don't corrently have a newton with a
keyboard (internal or external) but i will be getting a few eMates
soon, so I wanted to know if it would be a good idea or not, it seems
not, so i'll forget it. Thankyou all for you're time.
