Having just broken my plain two button scroll wheel microshat mouse from getting angry with windoze 98 i put in my usb optical intellimouse explorer. its confy and okay, but the software sucks. the intellipoint driver crut version 5.0 soposably checks for updates every minute! slowing the computer down. and the intellimouse explorer version i have(older one with two big buttons on the side for browsing the web, new version has two very small buttons) well, every single one of those mice had a big problem with the cord. it shorts out making the mouse useless. you need to take about 3 inches off the connection to the mouse and totally re-do it. now it works fine. but when i go to scroll, about 1 in 10 times, it jumps to the end of the page when its sopposed to go only 3 lines at a time. tsk tsk.

Yeah, well that's why MS is primarily a software company and not hardware. And we know how good their software is

Get a Logitech or something.

yes, that new sideways scroll mouse is cool. at the comp. store, the microsoft mouse was more confy than the logitech. well, neways, when i get my linux mandrake on mybox, i will use the mouse. the mouse is pretty, good, just the driver software stinks. on the mandrake linux site, my intellimouse explorer is compatible. yay. next time you get a mouse, and if its microshat, plan to use it on linux mandrake or someting. just dont get a microsoft mouse to use with windoze!!! ;

I have gone thru too many mice. I don't purchase lazer mice because I just know after a few months the buttons will start to go. I got 6 mice for $3 each and so far I have gone thru 4. Its so annoying.

I would NEVER purchase MS hardware. Not a router, not a mouse, not a PC (or any of those WinPCs or WinModems) simply because it is from MS. Bad enough they have an OS monopoly, they shouldn't be allowed to get into hardware.

My fellow Jews and infidels, we are facing an enormous crisis and challenge in this world today as you all know from Islamic terrorism. This is a direct attack on our western lifestyle, ethics and freedom. Many of you have complained about the economy and lack of jobs. The decline of the economy and stock market is a result of terrorist acts commited by the Islamic evil doers who must not go unpunished. It is your duty as good Americans, Europeans, NATO allies and others who believe in freedom to oppose this assault on our liberties. Therefore may I suggest that if you are unemployed or underemployed that you go down to your local military recruiting office today and sign up and fight in the name of democracy and freedom. Being almost 50 years old myself, I will stay here in the USA and help keep the engines of Capitalism and democracy running until such time I am needed in the war on terrorism.

I use the intelli mouse explorer 3.0...It's nice, and works well on my suse box, even though I haven't found a driver that will activate my side buttons.

In windows the side buttons are nice because you can set them to do things like the forward and back button. It's very handy when you do a lot of reading and have to reference back to another document. If you use a tabbed browser you can set it to open, close or switch tabs as well. But like I said, in my linux box, the side buttons are just an additional spring supply for when the other two buttons wear out.
