	The great debate over optical vs mechanical mice doesn't seem to have touched
on the subject of noise.... The sound of that metal ball rolling on a desktop 
drives me up the wall....Grrrrind, clunk, rrrrroooooollllll...AAAAHGGGG!!!!!

	As for alignment of the optipad, I've never had trouble geting it right
and feel no real need to think about the alignment after a short adjustment period....

	As for the writing pad idea...I like it. I'll try it at home where the mouse
is where it belongs....under my left hand....
