	The jerkyness I am talking about is apparent even if you boot of the 
"System Tools" disk which doesn't have the Appleshare client installed.

	Also, I used A+ ADB optical mouse on System 6.0.4 with the AppleShare
client and it worked fine.

	To make sure we are talking about the same problem, let me describe
the situation that shows it.  It happens when you press
a key WHILE you are moving the mouse.  The mouse then freezes for a
while (1/4 to 1/2 sec) and then jump away.  If you move the
mouse whitout touching the keyboard, the mouvement is smooth.
It makes shift-clicking hell.

	Tech support took down my name an phone numbers and said they
would contact me next week (March 26-30) after they talk with their
engineers !

>Perhaps if more people complain to Mouse Systems we will get it resolved.

	Since the problem appeared with the System software, I suspect
they are not going to have a choice.  It is one thing for a 
product not to work with certain software, but SYSTEM SOFTWARE !!!

>In the mean time I've learned to live with it...

	I am not too sure I can live with it since the problem surfaces
even with modifiers keys like the option, command and shift keys,
which are all frequently required in combination with mouse clicks.

	I will let you know what happens as soon as I know.
