If you are thinking about getting the A+ optical mouse for your Mac SE
or Mac II (or I guess Apple IIgs), this is a good time to do it.  The
November issue of MacUser had a special ad from MSC Technologies (the
manufacturer), and I saw it in at least one other issue (or in
MacWorld perhaps); a $15 rebate if postmarked before 12/31.  I'm not
recommending this specifically--I got it as a birthday present and I
like it a lot--just pointing out that the time is right if you were
thinking about it.  It is similar to the Sun mouse, by the way, which
is also made by MSC.

If you decide to get it, Telemart, of Phoenix Arizona, also
advertising in MacWorld and MacUser, has this mouse for $73; most mail
order places list it for $85.  They charge twice MacConnection's fee
($6) for shipping, and for an item under $100 they wait a week and
ship it 2nd day (Federal Express 'standard').  So I waited an extra
week and the total cost for a new mouse with 'lifetime guarantee' is
$64.  The charge slip is dated from when it was shipped, at least, not
when it was ordered.  Most of their prices for other items are more
typical, so I wouldn't recommend that service and shipping fee
normally, but the mouse was a good deal.

Unfortunately, the rebate only seems to apply to the ADB mouse, not
the Mac Plus model.
