More supported hardware ;)

I recently got one of those Microsoft Optical Intellimice, and lo and behold, the action is much smoother in Gnome than it is in Windows, go figure http://www.pcmech.com/ubb/wink.gif.

Anyone (especially a smoker) looking for a new mouse every few weeks as I was, should definitely check one of these out. 50 bucks well spent.

Yeah, Ex, if you're a smoker then mouse fights are constant. The ball clogs up and no mouse tends to last more than a month or two. I went through three in the four months since I built this box. The first no-name crappo mouse lasted about a month, the bottom of the line Microsoft mouse lasted two weeks, and the Belkin bottom of the line mouse lasted about two months.

Optical mice are where it's at. I'll never own another standard mouse again.
