Today I finaly desided to remove my old Microsoft Mouse. It was the soul remaining part of Microsoft to touch my system.

I replaced it with a two-weel (no idea what one does) optical mouse from A4-Tech and I love it, for some reason I feal more whole now that Microsoft is gone.

Unfortunently... I will have to install Win2k on a secund partion of my harddrive. Its only temporary though, I wouldnt wana torture this sweep machine for to long... no, I only need it for a LAN-Party comming up on monday, after that... *POFF*, gone!

When my dad and me went to CompUSA to buy a wireless mouse & keyboard a few months ago I had a choice between getting the one made by Microsoft and the one made by Logitech.

I chose the Logitech package because they had the forward & backward buttons spaced farther apart and the mouse wheel felt tighter.

Im A LAN GAMER too and this is the sole reason i havent 100% turned my back from Windows but with the growing support for games on Linux the time is nearing ever closer
I mean im running Quake 4, UT2k4 and Guild wars perfectly (Guild wars Through WINE) so its just a matter of time
P.S its great turning up to a LAN and loading linux up to play these games and seeing pepoles faces glow with envey

i prefer logitech anyway. i have both and i like the logitech a LOT more. the MS mouse tilt wheel felt really flimsy and the whole thing felt pretty cheap.

my simple Logitech USB mouse is the best i've ever used. it's not wireless, but it's super light weight and fits comfortably in my hand. i found a Microsoft wireless mouse at a grage sale for $1, but i stopped using it after a day. it has rubber pads on the bottom for some reason... and it's super heavy too.
