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??

THANX!!

PEACE OUT :)
MARK
