They have been replaced with Trackman Marble+, with the 'wheel' functioning as a third button. The wheel is rather difficult to use as a frequently used button because of it's placement and resistance. If you really like the mouse, Logitec's FirstMouse+ can be found for about $25 at any geek shop. --cokane media@mail1.nai.net had the audacity to say: > Forgive me if this is off topic, I'm looking for a better mouse for a 133 > Pentium that someone gave me.
