Reading notsfiles and E-mail, I often thought that it would be nice to have a three button controler that attaches in parallel to the keyboard. For instance, it would be nice to lean back in a chair with my feet proped up, sipping a cup of tea and read notes or mail.A little hand held control with a button each for return, space, and j keyboard equivs would be nice. It would also be nice if the buttons were configurable. The space bar and return button have oposite functions in notes and HPdesk. Reconfigurable buttons would allow the casual reader (as oposed to the hunched over the keyboard reader) to use the same button for a task between applications and allow it to be configured for applications that use a different set of buttons for navigation. I think its a nifty idea. If any one goes into production, I want 10% of the first years net from each unit sold and 20% of the sales price when a big company purchases your company for the technology/product. TeriAnn
