I'm going to buy a mouse for my system, and price is the determining
factor in which mouse I buy.

Of course, the cheaper mice are the serial mice.

Besides the obvious disadvantage of the mouse occupying a serial port,
are there any other disadvantages of serial mice versus bus mice?
There must be a reason why people are still buying bus mice when
they're soooo expensive compared to $30 serial mice.
