Anyways, $100 is still twice the price when it was new.

Even if you don't game, I would recommend just picking up a Logitech G5 Laser Gaming Mouse. You get to skip the LED mouse generation and go straight to the laser. It has huge teflon feet for easy gliding, a high quality cable, is comfy, adjustable weight/ballast for a good feel, and it's not expensive. Best Buy had them on sale for arond 30 bucks last time I checked.

I have this, its the best mouse I've owned to date.

I just got this guy this past weekend:



...and am enjoying it so far. It is my first trackball and is taking a little getting used to. It is hard to make small adjustments in mouse positions, but 90% of my cursor movement has improved It is nice not to have to drag my arm about my desk and I do not have to worry about annoying wires as well.

I love it, takes a bit of getting use to.
i hate those things!!! whenever my co-workers that use those go on vacation and i have to check in on stuff at their desk, i always unplug their stupid rolly ball mouse and replace it with a normal mouse. only the old farts in my department use those so they don't get carpal tunnel.

scot, do you still have dial-up by any chance?
