Carl's Rules of Computing:

  1. Big, complex systems (BS) usually fail.
  2. Small, simple systems (SS) fare better.
  3. SS grow into BS at 20% per year.
  4. Effort required to stop SS from becoming BS.

adequate design, bluetooth connection, scroll wheel and three(!) buttons: the mouse bt. aluminum style

update: mcplus got it. (actually, amazing how website appearance and physical presence differ in this case: the "real" shop is full with different computer models and shelves of accessories and, probably most important, enjoyable sales people.)
