The reason I brought up the point about the MegaSTe mouse is that I think
Atari is shipping a different kind of mouse with the STe and I was curious
whether he thought his MegaSTe mouse was better than the one that came with
his 1040.

Sheesh, I should've just said that in the first place. :^)

BTW, when did you get your MegaST4 and your dad get his?

My theory, and I have quite a few :^), is that Atari has stopped shipping
different mice from different countries in their computers.  It seems they
have picked one manufacturer and stuck with them.
