    I have a older Logitech wireless mouse, but am thinking of freeing up a USB port for a notebook BT mouse. Any suggestions?

    I just picked up the MS 8000 presenter and I think it is pretty good...especially since I got just under 30 bucks delivered.

    +1 on the Logitech V470.
    Love it. Simple sleek design and efficient.

    The 470 has a scroll wheel that clicks left and right that can be set to back and forward.

    Right now directly at Logitech (I think, the *in stock* is shaded out), and from Dell.com.

    I ordered mine from Dell thru my EPP Discount, but here it is via Dell Home and Small Bus. w/discounts:
    Dell Home: $59.99 Less 15%..$50.99
    http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A2824303
    Use this coupon code, and you can save 15% on it: 65G7RQ11J?M2LH

    Or, order from Dell Small Biz, and get 20% off, bring to: $47.99
    http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=A2824303
    Use this coupon code, for the 20%: TR3K2WXQ65?53B
