The cable reels into the mouse case when not in use. I've gone through two of them already on my TiBook, though, so they could probably be sturdier. (Or I could just treat them with more care, I suppose.) My wife still likes the Apple Pro ('crystal) mouse since she can't remember when to click which button on a multi-button mouse. She also has MS with accompanying loss of manual dexterity and the Apple mouse is essentially one big mouse button so you just squeeze it anywhere to click. Takes all kinds, I say.

Post #76,769 by SpiceWare 1/24/03 4:30:48 PM Reply	Thirded I'm using a Logitech optiocal 2 button w/scroll wheel at work. Very nice. At home I'm still using my Kensington Expert Mouse trackball. It's the older serial/ps2 one, not the newer PS2/USB one. I even picked up some replacement balls for it - a "crystal ball" from third party(can't find a link) that looks like it's glowing when the light hits it right and a blue one that Kensignton put out. The blue one reminds me of a bowling ball, the way the colors shimmer when you turn it. Darrell Spice, Jr. [link\|http://www.spiceware.org/\|SpiceWare] - We don't do Windows, it's too much of a chore

[link\|http://www.targus.com/product_details.asp?sku=PAUM005U\|Targus mini mouse] I went for the Micro Innovations mouse; the transmitter is a bit bigger, but it included a rechargeable NiMH battery. So far it's been good. For desktop systems, I use Logitech. Tony
