This is a personal opinion, but I think it's important: more arm injuries are caused by mice than anything else I know. Microsoft is particularly bad in this respect--ask anybody with CTS what they think about double-clicking. You should get the best mouse you can. Prefer a short, light switch. It *must* have three buttons. Accept no substitutes. They're cheaper than the Microsoft things, so you might be able to sell your mouse, buy a new one, and have money left over. Greg
