This may be slightly off-topic, but I thought readers of this discussion
might be interested in taking a look at an article in the February 24th
issue of "Infoworld" (p. 67), entitled "Two Mice Nibbling at Microsoft's
Lead."  This article reviews the PC Mouse by Mouse Systems Corp., and the
Logimouse C7 by Logitech.  The author is especially concerned with the
performance of each of these mice with a variety of programs, some of which
are designed to be used with mice, some of which are not (the Logimouse
comes with software which enables it to be used with keyboard-based programs
that use the Microsoft Mouse standard).

I suggest reading the article if you're into mice.  However, my quick summary
of the article is that the author seems somewhat more impressed with the
PC mouse, even though it requires its own power supply, can connect only to
a serial port (as does the Logimouse), and requires a special mouse pad with
a lined mirrored surface.  He also gives it high marks for its ability to
move the cursor smoothly.  The Logimouse, which (at $99) costs just over half
as much as the PC mouse, he gives a "poor" rating for documentation, and finds
it to share the weakness of the Microsoft Mouse of jerky cursor movement
(though he likes the feel of the mouse itself, the way it rolls, and finds
it generally well-built).

I hope this information contributes to the discussion.
