RE: mice

I build computers and some of my customers ask me for that Logitech Pilot
mouse. It can be easily found at wholesalers around here (Spain) and I have
no news about Logitech discontinuing it.

The only little problem is that they don't make an *optical* three button
mouse, just the classic ball one.

Check this amusing story about three button mice:
http://www.taronga.com/~peter/io/mice.html. I've been in the computer
graphics industry for 15 years and I can't agree more with the author.

Regards,

Pablo
