Article about collecting in Antique Trader.# - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

sounds like a quote from me . . . the mouse I got back in '82 or so was, in

pad was the same I was later used to seeing at the SUN workstations.

   on Ebay:

         Genuine Collectors Item -- RARE pre-Windows optical mouse 
I understand the optical pads for the Sun Mouse Systems mice are somewhat
difficult to find. Is it possible the pads are the same?
