This is what I get with the right button "2" only here it's button 3 as 
it also  is on the F-13 computer which works as expected. Both computers 
call it button 3, I don't know why. There are four, 1, 3, 8, and 9 on 
this Logitech trackball that we use on all our computers.

It works as is but it is very inconvenitent. The right button brings up 
a menu and you have to tell it to copy, then repeat the process to 
paste. Hopefully it will "get better" after a few updates.

I had to bite the bullet and get the model number and then was able to 
Google for the specs. Apparently the display is running at the optimum 
settings, [1280x1024  60.0*+]. For some reason I have to do a lot of 
scrolling to view things like my dd-wrt router information in Firefox.  
It may be the difference in aspect ration for two different monitors. 
This older LCD is proportioned more like a crt while the other is much 
wider.

Thanks.
