My first mouse I bought was a trackball. Then cordless mice started popping up 
and I got the Logitech cordless, my kids got ahold of that and demolished it 
so I ended up buying me a Micro Innovations cordless optical mouse and I 
don't like this one. I want my logitech back, so sometime soon, im going to 
go out and hunt my old logitech down.
