1. FWIW I think the IBM/Lenovo mouse is still available. Type 31P7405 into Google Search and you get lots of options.
Is this really a 3 button mouse or is the scrollpoint the middle button? It really looks like a 2 button mouse from the picture. NB I saw this in a review at the Lenovo web site: "The basic flaw is the design or should I say quality control is very poor. Among two of the six I got, the base is not flat. They wiggle diagonally when you put it on a flat table, which is kinda very annoying making noise whenever you click." 2. The Logitech Model M-CAA43 P/N 811439-0000 was a great basic 3 button mouse, with 3 real buttons. It was PS/2 however. You can find them used if you look. http://white-cube.blogzine.jp/nap/images/p2020068a.jpg leb At 8:18 PM -0700 5/4/10, Russ Cox wrote: >A correspondent recently sent me email to ask >about where to find a good 3-button mouse for >use with plan9port, but the question might equally >apply to Plan 9 proper.
