The A+ optical mouse has to have a reflector pad under it to work.  It
has no moving parts, so I guess it is less likely to wear out but it
doesn't slide as smoothly as the roller-type mouse.  I have heard that
the optical mouse is not as sensitive as the Apple Mouse, but I can't
verify that, and I don't know that it really matters.  That may be a
personal preference.  I would try one out before I bought one.  B.
Dalton's Book Stores carry them.
