	The two main objections to an optical mouse that I've come across
	are that you sometimes need an extra power source to drive the
	LED, and if the pad gets damaged or lost you are out of luck.

	I have a few Mouse System mice and they are often looked over for
	use, while my Logitech mechanical mice are always lent out.  

	Nothing like other people's opinions to screw up a nice day...  :-)
