It is true, as far as I know, that optical mice require a grid on which to work. However, it is not as bad as you might think. Xerox mice use a fine grey grid that you can stick to your desk. It is so thin that it might as well not be there. Also, unlike some other mice, the orientation of the mouse to the pad is not a problem. Finally, the size of the pad is also usually a problem. When you get to the edge of the pad, you pick the mouse up and move it back to the middle. This eventually becomes unconscious. I really like the Xerox mice. I really hate most other mice. If Apple goes to optical mice, I sincerely hope that they do it right. >>Dave
