Bill,
One other comment about changing to the optical mouse.
I use to have problems running high power in the shack while using a
standard mouse on the PS2 port. The mouse would go crazy and pull up 3 or
4 windows with the slightest movement on the mouse. The only way to fix it
was re-boot.
After changing to the IntelliMouse, I have not had the problem
return. Perhaps the newer mouse has better RF filtering.
BTW, I switched to the optical mouse months ago and glad I did.
