I run my PC pedestal-style (alongside my desk) and find the tail of my Microsoft bus mouse to be about two feet too short for comfort. (This is an old style, pre-"soap-on-a-rope", mouse. Cable length approx. 5 ft) Anyone know where to find an extension tail? Larry Rupp ler@hpfcla

If so, a Radio Shack Joystick extension cable would do the job just fine. It can be found at any RS store for less than $10.

Costs about 5 bucks. -- del (Erik Lindberg) uw-beaver!tikal!pilchuck!del
