Buying a Mouse

Went shopping for a wireless laser mouse with a mini adaptor.

I have had great experience with Prolink, and just homed straight for it at the hardware shop. The specific compact model that I am using on my Dell Inspiron Mini 9 was sold out, so I picked a normal size model reluctantly. Holding that on my hand, I went around to look for any other options and I saw this stunning looking Logitec mouse, which costed more, but it was having a promotion which gave away a pair of Logitec speakers and subwoofer. Great, something that I could have some use.

I compared the specs of both mice again, then I saw a little Penguin among Mac & Windows on the suported OS column of the Prolink mouse. I know both would just work fine in Linux, but I give credit to Prolink for displaying the Penguin on the specs proudly. That firmed up my mind and put the Logitec mouse back to the display hanger.
