Howdy all.

Well, my mouse finally gave out the other day, forcing me to finally go out and
buy a new one.  So I called up Safe Harbor and orderd a Boing! optical mouse. I
got it for a good price, and they sent it a day early, too.  And to top it all
off, they gave me a roll of Life Savers in the box.  What more could you ask
for?

So I have this wonderful mouse, and a bunch of questions:
1.  That middle button... I might as well use it.  Is there any software that
	suports it?  I know DME does, and I have switcher, but I'm looking for 
	something tiny that, say, cycles the screens.

2.  Can you get a larger pad?  Tunnels of Armageddon and PowerDrome are quick
	and easy ways to run out of mouse pad.

3.  Is there any way to make the mouse slide across the pad with less friction?
	I heard of some kind of wax, but I'd rather find out before I go and do 
	something stupid.

Recommendation:  If your original mouse is starting to go south, at least try
one of these mice.  It wasn't the cheapest, but I'm sure satisfied,

(As usual, I have no association with Centaur or GFXBase except as a very
satisfied customer.)
