Hi all, I recently got a new laptop and Quake 3 is running just fine on it - except that the build-in mice (eraser-head or touch-pad) are impossible to use. So I am contemplating a gamepad or a trackball to play on the go. I understand that a mouse and a keyboard are the best way to play at your desk, but those are not an option in a car or on a plane. Any advice or recommendations? Thanks, Al
