>Out of curiousity... What kind of mice do you like (yeah, no furry jokes
>please)?
I have a Microsoft Optical Wheelmouse (just 2 buttons an a wheel. It
was cheap and it's a really nice solid mouse and it really smooth to
use. I have used a Pro muse and get annoyed at the whole Ctrl-Click
thing with only one button. I find it irritating when using my iBook
(trackpad) too.

See above ;)

I too have very long fingers and find small mice impossible. I really
like the IM Explorer, I had one but mine died. I find MS mice have
always fitted my long thin hands very well.

I use OS X and so don't (yet) have the advantage of programmable
scroll wheel etc. Plus Classic disables the IntelliPoint extension so
the scroll wheel doesn't work in Classic apps :(. i had it programmed
to zoom in graphics apps ans scroll in text apps. Now it'll do
neither.... dang it.

I've tried GLQuake, DOOM Legacy and Bugdom (on my iBook) with my
Mouse and all seem fine.
