We got a couple of NeXTs two weeks ago and (certain performance and 
management issues aside), we like 'em fine.  I do have one complaint, 
though--one which I think could be addressed very easily.

I find the non-linear mouse vs. cursor movement irritating.  The cursor
is moved farther per unit of mouse travel if the mouse is being moved
rapidly.  The result is that I often have to pick up the mouse from the
desk and place it down elsewhere in order to move the cursor where I
want it.  I would very much like to have an option for linear mouse
tracking, as is done on Suns and Microsoft Windows (and, I believe,
on Macintoshes).  

Is there something in the documentation that I've missed?  
Does anyone else feel the same way about this?
