[CS-FSLUG] QOTW: Mice

[N. Thompson]

I've got a Microsoft USB optical intelli mouse, its the one with the 
PS/2 Adapter and the scroll wheel. Its nothing fancy but it did cost a 
little over $25 CAD and it does seem to be of fairly good quality. I've 
used Logitech mice before and those are usually really nice. Aside from 
a few no-name brand mice the only ones I've used were MS intelli mice 
not unlike my own and Logitech mice. After using optical scroll mice for 
so long I can no longer stand mice that still use balls because they 
stick too much and I always find myself looking for the scroll wheel 
even on mice that I know don't have them because I'm so used to having one.
