Re: Mouseballs - where to buy

[Robert Demarest <csn@CYBERSTREET.COM>]

These mice are hard to find right now.  I did some comparison shopping
using CNET's robot and found the price of these mice ranged from $19.94 to
$49.95 (list price is $54.95). Most places charge about $4.95 shipping.
Almost all sources were back-ordered.  The supply problem should ease abit
before too long.  Buy.com was the cheapest and scores 4.5 stars for service
from bizrate. Egghead was $21.99 plus shipping.  I have included links
directly to the product page of the various vendors.
