Ditto.  While a mouse does nothing to speed up redraws, I (and I expect a lot  
of people) spend a considerable amount of time just moving the mouse around :  
selecting files, icons, moving windows etc etc...  The Golden Image makes that  
a little faster without any nasty surprises.

Yup, I *love* my Golden Image mouse.  Up until I got it, I had thought the  
Micosoft Mouse (for IBM types) was the best money could buy.  I think the  
Golden Image is marginally better -- I like the fact that it is wider.
