For the first time, I actually bought a mouse for myself. This is the first time I've purchased a mouse that was for me, as opposed to using someone else's or using one of those little laptop things.
So, in recognition of this momentous event, I went for a good one:
Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer

Mine's in 'platinum' (i.e. silver plastic).
Radio-frequency Wireless, optical, and a scroll wheel that tilts for horizontal scrolling.
Say what you will about MS, but they make a fine mouse Not cheap by any means, but well worth it if you spend your days at a desk.
Horizontal Mouse Scroll Wheel
Wow times are changing, the microsoft site works in Netscape .
Woops I got too excited the markup and CSS don't validate
and it's held together by tables with script and style tags in the body.
Oh well they do make a good mouse.
