MouseTime doesn't report the seconds (+- 30 secs resolution), makes Dark Castle toss its cookies (okay, this is a non-problem, but it had me puzzled for a few minutes), and you have to cycle power on it to get it back if you disable it. I'm afraid to try it with my prototype 3D glasses driver. I also have to install something on my already-full startup disk to read it. I want one that auto-configs (I think the auto-config spec provides for this sort of thing), and is invisible to all other peripherals, whatever they may be. It seems like such a beast could be put onto the unused board space of a hard disk controller or some such. Am I being unreasonable? _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Leo L.
