See How They Run

IT sounds like a job for the Pied Piper.
Half a million cordless mouse devices are about to be set on the world as Logitech announces their mass production.
The design has been on the market for some months, but Logitech says the larger economies of scale have allowed a price drop from $139.95 to $99.
By comparison, Logitech's bottom of the line `First Mouse' ? with simply two buttons ? sells for $29.95 and its USB wheel mouse costs $89.
The cordless wheel mouse combines two buttons and a scroll wheel with radio technology and Logitech MouseWare 8.4 software.
The device runs on two standard alkaline AAA batteries and is linked by radio to a receiver the size of a cigarette pack-et, which plugs into the mouse port on your personal computer.
Each mouse can be assigned its own radio frequency so as to avoid interference between users in an office.
The wheel allows scrolling in all Windows 95/98, NT and Internet applications.
