But it's not crap. That is precisely my point. No one is forcing you to use
a wireless mouse and there are still _many_ wired mice out there. When you
have no choice but wireless come talk to me.

You could always write one yourself. The interface isn't that difficult is
is rather well documented.

I shall not quibble about your point about the iSeries, but my new wireless
mouse (from Microsoft) does not work on Win 95. Now you could say
that nobody is "forcing" me to buy a wireless mouse, but that is just crap.
There is no reason that a driver could not be written for Win 95, except
that Microsoft doesn't want to.
