my experience was quite positive. i found it more comfortable to
use for long periods of time that most other mice i've used, and
the "clunky" buttons nice (reliable, obvious when you've made
contact, and hard to trigger inadvertantly). i got two of the
usb-converted mice jmk mentioned, and (except for the busted one
which moved the cursor down about quarter inch for every inch it
moved up on the screen) didn't find them more dificult to position
than average (not the best, but certainly not the worst). the
mechanics are worse than (modern) average, though. but then, good
optical mice have me spoiled.

bah. all mice suck today. i've got a running thread with boyd
trying to identify a usb three-button (wheels aren't buttons)
mouse with either optics or high-quality mechanics and a shape
that isn't plain stupid. it's not been particularly fruitful.
