- A better question: Is there someplace that sells third-party optical
- mice for the various models of SGI? I would LOVE to put optical mice on
- our newer machines (actually, we've got a couple of IBMs that I'd love
- to put optical mice on as well).
-
- Similarly, where can I get new MICE PADS? (some of ours are incredibly
- old and well-used).
