I second Alex's opinion but beware. Some of those 20-40 NIS mice are
pretty shitty. The worst hardware malfunction known to man is probably
loosing one's HD, the most annoying however is goes to loosing your left
mouse button in mid work. I have drawer full of old mice to use as spare
parts just for this eventuality.
