Get a real monitor ASAP. Starve if you have to, or, you know, hit the street (wink wink nudge nudge) but dear god, stop torturing yourself with that thing!

My first "mouse" ever was a trackball. It was a good match for MS Dos on a black-and-amber monitor and a dot-matrix printer the size of a St. Bernard.

More recently I did use a trackball a few years ago when helping my mom's friend with some computer issues. It wasn't horrible, but my hand, wrist and arm are all fully mobile, so why not use a device that takes advantage of that and lets me use more buttons without adjusting my grip?

One is still in the mail, but the two that have arrived both work, and look much nicer than my well-oxidized original. In fact, my original one could maybe even pass for a banana, the plastic is so yellowed.

Oddly enough, my keyboard is also a Microsoft product of exactly the same age and color, but shows almost no oxidization.

The books are all (a) in a pile on top of my computer, which is ~3 ft off to the side of my desk, (b) in one of several piles on top of my dresser, (c) in and piled on top of the one small bookshelf unit I own, or (d) in boxes in my living room since I didn't bring all the shelves with me when I moved.
