Actually I had an optical mouse long before I got my Amiga.  I think I've 
just gotten more used to the Amiga mouse since then.  I really don't want 
to make a religious war out of this - I have 2 optical mice in my office, 
and a mechanical one at home.  I prefer the mechanical one.  Your mileage 
may vary.  What I *did* want to respond to was the idea that Commodore 
could make their new computers 'better' by supplying an optical mouse rather
than a mechanical one.  This seems more of a matter of personal taste than
a real improvement....
