I've never had _any_ problem with it whatsoever. On the other hand, every Apple mouse I've ever used has been really grungy. They all felt like somebody took out the little ball, dipped it in rubber cement, and put it back in. Also, the Amiga itself handles having a mouse better than any other machine I've ever seen. A serial mouse (on an IBM) is a joke, and the Mac mouse pointer catches up with the mouse position in one big jump about 1/2 second after you've moved it there. Well, anyway, that's what I think... -Logan -- =----------------Logan-Shaw---(lshaw@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu)----------------= "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not on thine own understanding.
