Comment 84 for bug 9068

Just to add, there are those of us who use special pointing devices (myself included), such as for the handicapped or special medical needs or in specific locations such as a shop floor where a mouse would not work because of environmental issues (dirt, space, etc.). Some of these pointing devices (trackballs, joystick like devices etc.) are old and hard to replace and of course many emulate a serial mouse. For some this isn't just a convenience issue, it is an accessiblity issue.
