I'll go one further and suggest a Logitech Trackman Marble. Been using 
them for ages. Takes a few days to get used to them but you will never 
go back. Also bought a Logitech MX1000 Laser recently to try get back to 
a normal mouse ...... it's wrapped up sitting in the roof and I'm back 
with the Track Ball. Oh yes, tapping the scroll wheel zooms to extents 
for me.
