Keep in mind that this mouse was made in Japan and not country XYZZY. I do swear by MY mouse, but I have also seen others that were "most dreadful rodents"... I've found that the Japan mice keep good tracking, button touch, and feel with standard care and cleaning... I cannot say the same for most others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- takem_b@mammoth.unr.edu (or ?) ucbvax.berkley.edu!mammoth.unr.edu!takem_b #include /* unfriendly control codes with ascii self portrate */ Anything that can go wrona@x3%se Pnews: segmentation violation. core dumped.
