I see Apple optical mice for sale on ebay. I have a 7600 and 7300 both with
G3 (about 350 MHz) and plenty of RAM. I have a simple USB PCI card (never
used, in a box). Few questions folk, if any of you can help please:

(1) Are there any Apple mice I should be wary of (not interested in non
Apple)?

(2) Do they work fine on PCIs such as mine with similar specs or more
trouble than they are worth - do they slow things down, take up more
processing power or anything?

(3) Specifically a gent said to me in answer to a question on ebay: "I have
a Mac Pro USB mouse.... which is an optical mouse and the one that
ships with ALL new macs .... its picture will be in any advert for a new
mac! It is arguably the best mouse available anywhere ... the retail price
is $125!!! ...so $50 isn't a great deal to ask!!" These are Australian bucks
so maybe nearly double for US ones. Anyway, is this mouse suitable for my
machines

BTW I still use the mice from my old SE, I like the solid blocky sure feel
rather than the cheaper looser rattlier feel of the sexier more rounded ones
that shipped with 7300s. But sure would like an optical (save cleaning and I
have heard is more precise)

thanks
