I seem to remember seeing some for <$30 about 2 years ago. but even at that price, I bought a trackball and have NEVER (voluntarily) touched a mouse again .... -- --------------------> PREFERED-RETURN-ADDRESS-FOLLOWS <--------------------- (ARPA) werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu (Internet: 128.83.144.1) (INTERNET) werner%rascal.ics.utexas.edu@cs.utexas.edu (UUCP) ..!utastro!werner or ..!uunet!rascal.ics.utexas.edu!werner

If it fails, return it. BTW, you can get them at Egghead Sofware. The one near where I live (Cupertino) has excellent service! I bought my A+ mouse there. I had trouble with it initially (spuratic problems) and returned it to Egghead. When the salesman tried it out on their in-store Mac, it worked fine. Nevertheless, he gave me a new one anyway, so I wouldn't have any more problems. Now that's customer service!!!! -lee ---- Lee Atchison Hewlett Packard, Business Networks Division Cupertino, CA 95014 atchison%hpindda@hplabs.hp.com
