- Without reservation I loathe the new "ergonomic" MS mouse. The old soap bars
- were not too bad. The new one is too big, too heavy, and requires that I
- place my whole hand on it and thus have whole arm get involved in moving the
- mouse. I like small mice that I can hold whith just the tips of a few fingers
- touching, the base of my palm on the desk, an move purely by the flexure of
- my fingers and wrist.

- This whole arm and hand thing is tiring and a PITA.
