I second the "endorsement" of the Radio Schlock mouse for use with
Painter's Apprentice, in spite of it's ominous part number of -1040A
and my normal bias against RS.  I also endorse PA itself, which I've
had some fun with and even used for the worthwhile project of "How can
I rearrange the furniture in the den [aka computer room] to make it
less of a disaster area?"  This is one of those projects that would take
a couple of hours with a quadrille pad and scissors but can be
shortened to several days with the aid of a computer.  But with PA it was
easy.  I'm glad I did it all!

 PS.  The adapter cable is no big deal, particularly if you also have
made yourself a 25 conductor "sex-change" RIBBON cable which has both a
male AND female DB25 on EACH end to use for those frequent occasions
when any cable you want to use has a DB25 of the wrong sex.
 Never forget the malpass-principle: Given a binary choice, the
correct answer will be chosen 31% of the time.
