- I bought the "new" TurboMouse. There are many differences... They
- are functional, though, not cosmetic. The hardware has been modified
- to control more aspects through software (button assignment, etc.) ...
- The problem I have with it is that the init needs to run every time
- you boot the Mac... I would be _MUCH_ happier if there were a little
- battery and PRAM in it which would save your settings... For this
- reason, I am a little disappointed with it. Otherwise, I'm happy.

- Mine wasn't that bad either... About the same description. I don't
- really know why I replaced it. ;(
