I personally prefer a BUS mouse.  I am now using a Logitech C9 bus mouse
and very happy with it.  I prefer Logitech's bus mouse because it allows me
to choose the interrupt I wish to use.  Microsoft doesn't.  In matter of
fact, if you choose to go Microsoft, it wouldn't matter if you chose a bus
or serial mouse.  They both will be using a serial port address.  That is
also why I got a bus mouse.  Logitech's bus mouse frees up my serial port
for use with a modem.  I currently have two modems (completely different
types of modems, of course - one Hayes and one DOV 640).
