Does anybody have any suggestions for a cost-effective wireless trackball
or mouse device?  Here's the twist: I need something that is hand-held
(rather than desk-top) that I can use as a PC mouse in standing 
presentations with a projection screen.  

I would imagine that some enterprising folks have taken it upon themselves
to produce such an item, not unlike the laser pointers that are used
in presentations often these days; I just haven't had any luck poring 
over the pages of BYTE and PCWeek.  If all else fails, I hope at least to
find an infrared mouse that I can train a universal remote (the type that
you buy for your stereo/tv/vcr/etc.) to emulate.

Any suggestions, pointers, product names, etc. via email 
(dobbs@psych.stanford.edu) would be appreciated.

thanks in advance,
	Bob Mayes
