If you have a Sun workstation:

1) I pity you.  Although it is VERY powerful, it is crippled by that
damn awful mouse.  We have Sun 3/50 workstations at school, and those
damn mice get the biggest complaints.

2) If you want to be silly, put the mouse on the screen.  The cursor
will FLY up to the top of the screen.  As far as I can figure, since
the mouse is optical, it mistakes the scan lines as one of those black
lines on the pad.  

Now as for the Atari mouse, I've seen better and worse.  Luckily, I have
the Japanese mouse, so I have had no major problems with it after 2
years (except for replacing the left button).  Has anybody experimented
with putting a different switch in it to get more feedback?
