A >serial/parallel card will set you back $40-$50. Maybe they list for that much, but I've seen street prices around $25. When you consider that a bus mouse usually costs about $10 more than an equivalent serial mouse, then the difference is about $15. True, a lot of people would see no reason to spend that extra $15, but that's a lot different from saying they *must* get a bus mouse. -- ergo@netcom.uucp Isaac Rabinovitch atina!pyramid!apple!netcom!ergo Silicon Valley, CA uunet!mimsy!ames!claris!netcom!ergo "I hate quotations.
