Getting used to the no-button mouse will be fun and games tho :)
Do the feely mice have any kind of positional pressure sensitivity, or is it

There's also one REALLY strange noise
that comes from my machine that someone
may be able to identify.
Whenever I run something that needs heavy
use of the processor (or maybe memory,
I can't tell) a consistant noise in the
computer will change pitch (higher). Why
