Hi Netters

Any Moussystems compatible 3-button mouse does work with X.
Except the expensive ones. Why? They have no switch to
choose between ms-compatble 2-button mode to 3-button mode, but
do this by software (msdos-software, of course), normally
their standard-mode is ms (of course). Some friends of mine
have this Problem (3 Buttons, but can only use 2 of them).

So my Tip:
 - Only buy a 3-button mouse if it has a switch!
 - Don't spend more than $20.
