I am considering purchasing a new ADB mouse for my Mac.  Does anyone out  there
have any opinions of those currently available.  I have heard a few good
things about the A+ mouse which is optical and has a lifetime warrantee.  This
sounds like a good one, but how does it compare with the Apple mouse in terms
of feel.  Has anyone had problems using one?

I also saw an ad for a cordless mouse.  I'm not sure what company produces it.
Anyways, does anyone know much about this one?  I suppose it uses infrared 
to transmit to the port; is that a correct assumption?  IF so, house does 
the signal transmit.  I remember my friend who had the PCjr (ages ago) with the
cordless keyboard.  The signal transmission for that thing was very unimpress-
ive.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
