>>Anyway, when I replaced the most recent one at home, I got an Microsoft optical mouse, and I absolutely love it. So when I got a new box here at the office, I got a new Microsoft IntelliWeb optical mouse...AND IT KICKS. So long, "Soap Bar".:-)

>I love my optical mouse. More precise. Mouse pad not needed. Still haven't gotten used to the wheel thingy yet. Try out a natural keyboard too. Very comfy.

Reminds me of using the old "Soap Bar". At the time, not many applications supported mice. However, the one that I used most did, QuickBASIC 4.0. At first I thought it wouldn't be much use, but the more I used it, the more I liked it. Eventually, I got my hands on a copy of Windows 2.01g, and started editing my FoxBASE+ prgs in Notepad. O Shoot! Now I'm getting all misty.:-)

I don't know about natural keyboards. I'm a pretty unnatural typist. I'm self-taught and really don't use the classic touch system at all. Further, I'm the only one I know that doesn't use the little "legs" on the bottom of the keyboard. The flatter the better.< g >
