Re: [Hardware] which mouse?

["peter boeykens" <peter_b(at)skynet.be>]

buy an old sgi, they come with excellent mouses ;-)

the one I have know is the cheapest I ever bought, and the best.
its a Trust wired optical ami 250 s. Cost me 6 euro I think.
nothing fancy but fits perfectly in my hand (Im a leftie), has the perfect 
weight, responsiveness, no drivers, no issues ever.
I can go and click like crazy all day without hurting, and I did have 
problems with that in the past.
