I am interested in finding out more about the Logitech 3-button mouse for the Mac. Does anyone have a phone number or mail address for the folks at Logitech?

But I believe they are planning to announce it at an upcoming Macintosh-oriented tradeshow. I have been testing the device for Logitech; their main number is (U.S.A.) (415) 795-8500. Perhaps asking for information about a new Macintosh product when talking to their receptionist would be the right thing to do. |> Thanks |> -- |> Tom Moore tmoore@pnfi.forestry.ca |> Petawawa National Forestry Institute uunet!attcan!ists!pi19!tmoore |> Forestry Canada, Box 2000, Chalk River +1 (613) 589-2880 |> CANADA K0J 1J0 +1 (613) 589-2275 telefax -- Alan Mimms (alan@apple.com, ...!apple!alan) | My opinions are generally A/UX X group | pretty worthless, but Apple Computer | they *are* my own...

But I believe they are planning to announce >it at an upcoming Macintosh-oriented tradeshow. There is also the Advanced Gravis 3 button mouse for the Mac. It's a LogiTech manufactured mouse and a little converter box (Gravis uses the same converter for their trackball and joystick, and if you want any of those the devices can be daisy-chained). The two extra buttons (as well as button 1, for that matter) can be programmed to send any key sequence (and, I think, a couple other types of events) to the Mac, and can send either more events or completely different events for double and triple clicks. Unfortunately, since it's an ADB device and there's no ADB manager under A/UX, you have to program the mouse from MacOS. However, once programmed it works fine under A/UX. I've been using one for about two weeks and my Apple mouse is now lost under piles of paper, so consider me a happy user! :-) --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.

And of course I forgot to include contact information in my glowing testimonial for the Advanced Gravis mouse. Their phone number is 800-663-8558, the product is called Super Mouse, and it's about $130. --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.
