I tried, at one time, to move my Amiga 2000 box onto the floor, but I found
that the mouse cord was not long enough.  Can I just build a straight
passthrough extention cord for it?  If not, does anybody sell an extension
for it?  And what about the keyboard?  That cable isn't too long and was
pretty streched out, as I remember.

Here's a suggestion for Commadore:
Wouldn't it be nice if the mouse could plug into the base unit or the
keyboard (like on some MAC keyboards and like on the Sun I am using) so
that it would always be near the keyboard if you plug it into the keyboard.  
I do not know if the signals exist to allow this, but it would be a nice 
feature to build for the future.

I do not mean to start a big discussion/flame war about the signals from 
the keyboard so some pseudo-intellect can waste band-width :).  Please
send any replies via e-mail.
