Re: 3 button optical mouse

[Joshua Rogers <joshuarogers@hopper.net>]

Well, I'm using a 3 Button Optical mouse with scroll wheel.   All you 
should really have to do is unplug the one you have and plug another 
in.  You shouldn't have to do any real configuration (or at least I've 
never had to).  I'm using a Logitech myself.  From the computers point 
of view, I don't believe it can tell the difference between ball and 
optical.  And both have the same number of buttons so that shouldn't be 
a problem.
