[P1] Mouse for iBook

>Would you know what the price for the Kensington mouse was? Any advantage of
>Kensington over Targus? I do need a small "travel-"mouse as well.

Both companies have websites:

The Kensington lists for $43.99. The wireless version is $49.99.

Targus has a page with various mice:

I'm not sure which one was being referred to. There is one that lists for 
$19.99, the Targus Ultra Mini Optical Mouse with Retractable Cord. The 
cord does not retract into the mouse's body but into an external reel. 

You might check local computer stores, office superstores (Staples, 
Office Depot, etc.). 

The Kensington software (MouseWorks) gets almost universal high praise. 
The Pocket Mouse Pro has three buttons, as the scroll wheel includes a 
button. It's easy to program any of the buttons to do various things. At 
Christmas, I was visiting my sister and her family. I had my iBook and a 
Kensington Pocket Mouse Pro. The left button stopped working for some 
reason. I was able to go into MouseWorks and reprogram the buttons to use 
the right button. I emailed Kensington with the problem and they sent me 
a new mouse. In the past, I've had very good experiences with 
Kensington's customer support. They replaced an ADB TurboMouse trackball 
twice over a period of about 5 years, at no cost each time.
