I have a Logitech Vista at home, which is just wonderful and was under $50. One button is at your thumb, the ball is on your fore finger and the other two to the right. Your hand sits down right on it with no sharp edges in the way. At work at I have the Kensington Expert Mouse. I hate it. It's square and so doesn't fit in your hand at all. And for freebsd, it acts like a 2 button mouse. In NT, I don't have the driver installed because the machine is a laptop and the trackpoint doesn't work without going into the bios and exiting. So it's a 2 button on NT to. Plus the cable is weird and likes to come loose. Look to Logitech, much nicer.
