- Depends on how much you use your mouse. My computer came with a cheap mouse, and
- it wore out in a year (cleaning it didn't help, a part had worn). I then bought
- a Microsoft Mouse, and have been happy with it. I recommend a Microsoft or
- Logitech mouse in the $40-$60 range. Both come with good software (Intellipoint
- or MouseWare 7.0, respectively) and have good reputations for durability. Mouse
- "resolution" is not very important unless you are a graphic designer with a big
- monitor, in which case you probably would use a trackball instead of a mouse
- anyway.
