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? =cf=
