Can anyone recommend one of the 3rd party mice (I've seen a cordless, and another one by some company whose name slips my mind) or should I stick with the Atari. I have seen Atari mice manufactured in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and I've heard they were also made in Japan. Is one better than the other? I had a Tawainese one, and it has acted up all along. I think wires are crossing inside the main cable. The arrow moves in the opposite direction of what I want, sometimes. I shake the cord a little, and it will work OK for a short time. Can I cheaply replace/build a new cable? Any info on any of the above questions would be greatly appreciated. -- ========================================================================= = Andrew Krieg The Marvel Historian = = G.E.
