- I bought a Mouseman Cordless, and am very happy with it. The mouse itslef is kind
- of big, but the cordless part is great, and Logitech makes pretty good mice,
- IMHO. Be creful to stay away from the kind that have to be in the line of sight
- of the receiver. These tend to be quirky. I think these are the infrared mice.
- Mine uses radio waves, and can be anywhere up to six feet from the receiver, and
- the receiver doesn't have to be able to "see" the mouse.

- Good Luck
