Not sure how old you are but I'm 67 and an "IT Professional" or so my qualifications say. I spend most of my day staring at a PC - admittedly it's not an M$ Windows one. It has taken me a while but I'm now in agreement with the others that the PC screen and mouse with wheel is the way to go.

Cheers & 73
