<P>There are a lot of different mice out there, and I cannot honestly say that
|
|
you should go out and buy one rather than the other. What I can do is give
|
|
a list of what I think these mice do, based on experience and heresay.
|
|
Even with this information you should be a little cautious - we had two
|
|
identical mice in our office on two computers, some things worked on one and
|
|
not t'other!
|
|
Any additions to this list would be welcome.
