Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Forgive me if this is off topic, I'm looking for a better mouse for a 133 Pentium that someone gave me. Other people gave me the keyboard, mouse, monitor, and modem. The entire system is a testament to human genorousity. It now has a Compaq PS/2 mouse. Not to look a gift mouse in the mouth, but compared to the rodent rolling next to my Mac, it's a piece of crap. The computer runs both FreeBSD (a type of Unix) and Windows 95 (a complete clusterfuck). While I prefer an interface designed for a one-button mouse, a three-button mouse would be better for those operating systems. I've had trouble with this PS/2 mouse under FreeBSD, and it has been suggested that I get a serial port mouse. Can a serial port mouse work with Windows 95?? I want a smooth, heavy, mouse with rounded edges that feel good in my hand. I do not want a flimsy piece of crap. Any suggestions for a three-button serial mouse?? Where's a good place to buy mice??
