I've got a Genius Netscroll Mouse, for which I can speak with confidence. It is an excellent mouse, and it on;y costs $10. I'd be wary of mice with a scroll wheel that is difficult to turn, such as M$'s standard PS2 Scroll Mouse, which you almost need both hands for. By comparison, the wheel in the netscroll mouse is awesome! I use it for unreal, and it has never let me down, just clean it out once a month or so, and that's not hard because you can easily take the top off it. As for Modems, Dynalink are without a doubt the way to go if you don't mind paying 50% extra. Lucent are incredibly good value for money though, and you'd only be suffering perhaps at most two drop-outs per year that you wouldn't get with a dynalink one... If you really want the best modem, get an external USR modem. They are in the $150+ bracket, but I'm still using my old 33.6K USR, because it's faster than my 56K internal Motorola (a brand to avoid obviously!) Hope that helps! :) Erin	Guest (0)
