i haven't got one yet (wireless mouse). i want to get one for my linux box (but wan't going to if it was difficult to do; being generally o.k. with the regular mouse.) i don't have one for my windoz laptop; don't need it. so i guess i'll try it and see how it goes. thanks betty. Unless it is weird you should be good. You don't have to jump through many hopes in windows to get it working do you? I at one point was running a wirless mouse (usb) under mandrake 8.2... I did not have problems with it. -- observare porta non oportet fila domestica visit www.wolfila.homestead.com
