Summary: Get a Logitech.


I use a Microsoft Mouse and IBM PS/2 mouse at work and a Logitech mouse
at home.  Suffice it to say -- there's no place like home.  There's no
comparison whatsoever between the Logitech and Microsoft/IBM -- the
Logitech wins hands down.

In addition to having 3 buttons, versus 2 for the Microsoft, Logitech
bundles a very powerful mouse menu generator and editor with the mouse.
Microsoft's software is virtually non-existant by comparison and IBM ony
gives you the mouse driver itself.

As to the question of a bus mouse, if you have a free COMM port, you
will have no problems at all.  If not, you'll have to do some hacking,
but it still should work unless your system is truly loaded.

To summarize, I *** LOATHE *** the Microsoft Mouse.  (I won't even honor
IBM's by mentioning it in the same breath as Logitech.)
