[RTTY] Optical mouse?

[Don Winn]

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.
