The best mouse I have come across so far is Microsoft's IntelliMouse. It is particularly useful for scrolling through the yards of messages from the PD INFO EX as it has a scroll wheel. You may have to open the message file in Word to use it but it's a lot more convenient than using the scroll bar. I have not come across the Cirque mouse which has been mentioned - does anyone know the manufacturer? Jamie Carnwath 46/9 [log in to unmask] Cambridge, England
