Funny thing. I used a track ball back when I played cs source and was better than the vast majority of non hackers. Even managed to kill Chewbacca, who would run games with autoaim, super speed, and a few other hacks

Yeah, as an FPS player, I swear by them. Not only better quick frag count, but I can go longer with them, all day in fact. So rather than my frags slumping from fatigue when performance should be improving, I see an increasing performance curve as I warm up and tune-in with the trackball without the fatigue ruining that. I'm not into thumb drives, but the centered ones give me index-finger control and my middle finger keeps my orientation centered from the side, and useful for big sweeps.

hah big sweeps with a mouse when fatigued, sometimes slip and bounce off against the wall [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

meh only played a little CS early on, more into Quake. But like my BF2142 Voss L-AR precision light assault rifle stats (my pref weapon) were over 20 to 1 career and made rank of General with it using a trackball. Never felt the need to use a cheat.

Lincoln delivers Gettysburg Address
On November 19, 1863, at the dedication of a military cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln delivers one of the most memorable speeches in American history. In just 272 words, Lincoln brilliantly and movingly reminded a war-weary public why the Union had to fight, and win, the Civil War.

Then and Now
The unfinished work, most certainly striving for freedom still today in a divided nation. But hope remains, yet as the dividers divide and while the overcomers overcome. In this world, freedom is always earned, seldom given.
