It's a Sanwa trackball. Sanwa makes some pretty crappy trackballs, but apparently it's one of the better ones.
Over in Japan, it's relatively cheap, and people think it's a nice alternative to the KEM. Given that it's $90, it's probably as expensive as a KEM, and not much cheaper than a CST.
Highly Recommend for anyone who love "USB Device" !
Goddamn, I'm randy for them USB devices!

I keep seeing references to CST on the forum, so I decided to look them up and see what I can find.
This isn't even funny (http://clearlysuperiortech.com/).

Its the same guys that did the unicomp (http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/) site...

At least Unicomp's isn't "best viewed in Internet Explorer".

And probably the same guys who do their plastic molds for them too, given the lack of polish on the finish.
Still, arguably the best trackball available on the market.

Shut up. I still use frames.
-
Never understood the difference between inline frames and frames...but since I've been told they aren't the same thing as each other, and that only one is deprecated, I assume I've been told correctly.
If you're not using PHP (with its wonderful include and require), frames are a decent tool for laying out a site and minimizing duplicating your code a million times. The user experience can get a bit hairy though, especially if you're like me and open just about EVERY link you click in a new tab.
-
For what I used frames for, you wouldn't have the new tab problem. The users select a helpdesk PDP from a menu tree on the left, and the PDP is displayed in the main area. Frames were an easy way to allow the user to adjust the width of the left panel to their liking similar to how many of their applications work (the helpdesk isn't very bright, and they are not an IT helpdesk, either). This gave them a "program" feel in a web page. For this application, Frames worked very well.

The depricated frames uses the
