I dunno how to get new mouse pads, but if you want to make them last
longer, get some clear plastic slip-covers, or some clear contact
paper, and cover the pads with them.  We've got mouse pads > 3 years
old here, and they're still just as good as new. Also, at your local
photographers supply store, you can get some "Standard Grey" paper,
and it works fine.  It's used for setting contrast levels or something
like that.  Or, if you have an 8000 laser printer, just about all the
greyshade test patterns will work. One of the nice things about the
Xerox mice is that they wok with just about any stipple pattern.  One
of the reasons I can't stand the Mouse Systems mice (which is what the
Suns'suse) is their mouse pad is direction-dependent.  I'd heard that
someone a  PARC had hacked together an interface between the Xerox
mouse and the Sun, and I hope they'd post it.
