If you want a real good mouse, get the Logitech MX 1000 Laser. It is much better than any other mouse I have ever used/tried, including the older Logitech MX series (which isn't bad either). This mouse works with zero problems on all surfaces I have tried and the resolution is incredible. Antti-

Shel, I don't like to use a computer rodents, and recommend getting a Kensington track ball. The big one. Roughly $80 to $100. Far easier to use. Small footprint. Precise. And great for playing Descent (Yes, I know it's old, but it's fun) or any other 3-d game. Sincerely, C. Brendemuehl
