<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I just have a question about a product. For years now, I have heard vague comments about some type of computer mouse that can provide tactile information about what is on the screen. Some of the comments I have heard talk about this being
useful for exploring graphical information such as figures in a research paper... Thus, I was curious if anyone knows if such a device really exists and if so, any information on it (e.g., where I can get more information on it or knowledge regarding the
value of it for things like exploring graphical displays). Because I do research along with teaching, it would seem as if this would be a really useful tool to have.<o:p></o:p></p>
