Does anyone out there know of a company who makes a 3 button bus mouse in an off-white color (like the old Logitech C7)? We had been using the Logitech C7 until they discontinued it for the (IMHO) really grotesque, stark white, uncomfortable to use excuse for a mouse they are currently selling :-( We use the mouse in a line of Tektronix 4107 emulation terminals and X-Windows terminals that we manufacture, which are based around the AT bus. It's really a shame the discontinued the C7, it was a nice product. We have not been able to locate a replacement for it. We have found a few serial mice that would fit the bill, but no bus mice. Thanks in advance :) -- Kenneth E. Wharton | ** But it's a dry heat! ** UUCS inc. Phoenix, Az | ncar!noao!asuvax!hrc!uucs1!kew sun!sunburn!gtx!uucs1!kew

The old one required me to bend my fingers backwards to press the button. The new one requires just a bit of pressure near the finger-tip, and no movement at all. The best mouse I have ever used was on Prof. Wirth's Ceres and Lilith machines. This mouse was a hemisphere, with the three buttons at the base (where the cord comes out on most mice), and the cord coming out one side. > It's really a shame the discontinued the C7, it was a nice product. >We have not been able to locate a replacement for it. We have found >a few serial mice that would fit the bill, but no bus mice. I think it was about time that they discontinued the C7. It was a very un-ergonomic design. Just my 2 cents worth.
