While on this subject, WHO OUT THERE can give us a review of the NEW CORDLESS
    PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS MOUSE???  I was on the verge of getting a boing
    mouse and read about it.  Also heard that it is at least as responsive
    as the boing mouse, w/a real sleek look and NO CORD.  The suggested list
    when i called was $129, but it is selling much cheaper.
