- I have no idea why they are doing this. For your own information I have a
- super old Mac SE and it came with the heavy ball while my pretty old SE/30
- came with the light black ball. It seems like Apple can not make up their
- mind? Anyways my 2 cents, I like the black ball better it moves easier and
- the rollers on the inside do not get as dirty as the heavy ball mice.
