Wireless Mouse recommendations
I hate the remote for my projector and someone suggested a small, wireless mouse would work better. Any recommendations for one that isn't gigantic and has decent range?

I can't speak for the later generations of it, but they do still sell the original one. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mobility.mspx See the third item. I'm not sure what store price for these is, though I doubt its more than 30-40 bucks.

I'm also very happy with the MS Notebook wireless mouse, but be aware that its range is 3-5 feet. Fine for laptop work at a desk, but you sound like you need something with longer range - bluetooth, perhaps?

I use the ThinkOutside Bluetooth mouse for my Thinkpad X40 which has a built-in Bluetooth radio. It isn't gigantic and has excellent range. (Just tried it from the other end of the room in which I am now. 30ft and still OK). Bonus: this mouse also work with Pocket PC.

Try the Gyration wireless mouse. Has a range of up to 30feet and great design. Best thing is that I can use it in the air away from any surface and that helps with the inflamation of the wrist. Has a rechargeable battery and its durable. Got it a Circuit City cann't remember the price though.
