I bought an "Agiler" mouse. It's the least expensive mouse I've ever seen. It'll cost you about $35 through the Computer Shopper (I bought mine used for $25). I don't care for most mice available for the PC. Logitech and Genius mice are a bit light and feel flimsy (sorry to offend Logitech fans, I just don't like the critters). The Microsoft xDmouse is a bit tall and feels awkward, but I've got pretty small hands. To make a long story longer, I really like Apple's mouse, and the Agiler is the closest to it I've found for the PC. It'll emulate a PC mouse (3 buttons)or Microsoft (2 buttons). It comes with some drivers for Lotus, Wordperfect and Dbase, but I never use any of these programs, so I can't tll you how good they are. The mouse itself is GREAT. I really like it. I'd reccomend it unreservedly. At $35 (that's shipping & handling and everything) it's a deal that can't be beaten with a stick. You really ought to go out and check out mice for yourself. See what one you like best. Shop around, you won't go wrong that way. Hey, I'd have one of those cute signature files, but it's all in the header anyway...
