captive wireless mouse...
Anyone catch the web addess of the company selling the wireless mouse described in the January '05 American Way? The device had storage for the transceiver right inside the mouse itself. The thing may be gigantic but I would like to check it out anyway.

It's on sale at Costco now for $27, a very decent price for an awesome mouse.

I have the Labtec Mini Wireless Optical Mouse and it stores the receiver in its base as well.
It's on sale for $23.99 at Amazon.com
It's very comfortable, though I do miss having a thumb button as on my Logitech Cordless Mouseman. It does have a scroll wheel. The batteries don't last 2 or 3 months as they say, though, at least not for me (though I now use rechargeables).

I saw this one at Fry's the other day:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...CONTENTID=9508
Looks pretty slick, and the mouse "expands" 7 degrees to fit your hand, unlike some other micro sized ones out there that get uncomfortable to use.
It's also got a solid state scroll panel, no more scroll wheel, but i don't know how well that works. I may pick one up since I've been looking for one anyways.

Oh, so this is not a unique feature; I thought I found something there. Thanks for the recommendations everyone. Since costco is my favorite store, it looks like the evil MS will get some business, sorry guys.
