maybe touchpad idea + mouse... (Score 1)

like one of these Kensington Studio Mice http://www.kensington.com/html/1216.html and configure middle mouse button as left click. But that doesn't help with right mouse button; much. There are two programs I know of that you can use software-wise on 2k/XP to emulate the right mouse button, for the truly quiet environment. One of them is called something like Lokai Mouse; the other escapes me at the moment. Lokai Mouse was written so the author could use a Mac mouse with only one mouse button, and still do right-clicks by holding down the mouse button for a period of time. It sounds good to me, never tried it though. -e
