Hi Jim,

All you need to get is a USB -> PS/2 "~gender changer", about
1-1/2" 
long, and quite cheap, that way you get the feel you like with something 
that works.  One came included [pale Green color] with my friend's 
Logitech Cordless Mouse - works excellently under M$ and OS/2.
It was a 2003 model, for PC/Mac USB and PS/2 - Macs only have the USB 
option of course.
Only thing I noticed was that in W2K it came up, when hardly used with a 
Critical Warning - 'Replace the Batteries in the Mouse", reseating the 
two AAA batteries fixed that!
