Any good mouse recommendations
I just have a basic logitech wireless mouse. it seems to skip pause and lacks accuracy just a bit. I use X2 and with all the new busy features in and X2 in a basic track so I now need better accuracy. (man its so easy to click in the wrong or dead spots). So I'm looking for some recommendations.

I find that a wired mouse tracks better.
I use a Microsoft wired mouse, and it works fine - $14.99

And if I use a mouse I prefer a wired one. Less crap to go wrong.

Logitech Performance MX, tracks on anything, white, black, shiny surfaces, even glass.
Wireless but uses standard 1.5 volt batteries so you can use rechargeables.
Nice amount of macro buttons you can bind to sonar functions.
Has double function wheel, notches like a normal mouse or press a button to unlock the wheel, and you just spin the wheel and it keeps going forever, perfect for scrolling long pages, can't be without that now.
No negative acceleration so you can flick it as fast as you want even if you use a low sensitivity for precision, different DPI settings changeable on the fly.

+a lot for the Logitech M570 Startekh - never looked back since buying my trackball. Apparently, all the best Producers use a trackball and they all think that a regular mouse is for losers - here's some quotes I found 'Trackballs are fabulous, I couldn't have made Sgt Peppers without one" - George Martin "Regular mouse? Pfft" - Mutt Lange "Trackball? It's all about RAM" - Alan Parsons

One more vote for the M570. The batteries last FOREVER and it can stay conveniently parked on the keyboard pull out.

I have Logitech M510 wireless mouses at work and at home. I love not having to worry about another wire getting tangled in my cramped little home studio. Battery life is incredible. I turn the mouse off at the end of each day and it's been over 1.5 years on the original batteries.

Here we go with that whole goose/geese house/hice shoes/she's moose/meese thing.
I think that's what drove some folks to trackball - which plurals up nicely, those poor people, bless their hearts.

From Wiki... Naming The earliest known publication of the term mouse as a computer pointing device is in Bill English's 1965 publication "Computer-Aided Display Control". [1] The online Oxford Dictionaries entry for mouse states the plural for the small rodent is mice, while the plural for the small computer connected device is either mice or mouses. However, in the use section of the entry it states that the more common plural is mice, and that the first recorded use of the term in the plural is mice as well (though it cites a 1984 use of mice when there were actually several earlier ones). [2] The term mice was seen in print in "The Computer as a Communication Device", written by J. C. R. Licklider in 1968. The fourth edition of The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language endorses both computer mice and computer mouses as correct plural forms for computer mouse. Some authors of technical documents may prefer either mouse devices or the more generic pointing devices. The plural mouses treats mouse as a " headless noun". [3]

When I took my 8-year old son to Disney World, he asked Snow White if she was "Pure, like the driven snow". OOOOHH she got mad - I shouldn't have put him up to it, I suppose.

Copy the "image location" URL (right click but you know that) and surround it with BB image tags.
It's simply IMG before the URL and /IMG at the end each surrounded by the square brackets [ ]
If I typed out the actual code the forum would just eat it.
If you have an image host like photobucket just copy/paste the BBcode version and it should show up. Although standard HTML seems to work for most things it doesn't seem to like images.
