I would respond via email, but there is a bit of misinformation in the
above posting that it seems is rather widesperad:

The Boing! mouse, though it is an optical mouse, does have a nice tan
cord terminating in a DB-9 plug and a mouse.  It is NOT wireless.
What it lacks is the roller ball.  (No jokes, please.)

There is a cordless mouse available for the Amiga, but I will not comment
on it other than to say that it does work, and that I don't own one.

BTW, I do own a Boing! mouse, and find it to be vastly superior to any
mouse I have seen to date.  Thanks, Dale.  Now if I could only get a
bigger mouse pad...
