- The new "pregnant" mice are *very* nice, in my opinion. Made
- by Commodore, even! They're optomechanical, like their
- predecessors, but they feel very solid, smooth, and the buttons
- are not "clunky" like the original gacky mice that CBM is still
- selling with some machines for some odd reason (too many still
- in stock?). I have a three-button, which is handy when used with
- MMBShift, which makes the middle button equivalent to a shift-key
- press. This means you can select multiple files on the workbench
- and elsewhere (ASL requesters, for example) by holding down the
- middle button.
