I have been toying with the idea of getting one of these new Microsoft
Optical mice since I am tired of removing gummy guck from the wheels inside
my mouse.

I noted that they have two versions: the cheaper Microsoft Intellimouse
Optical Mouse and the more expensive optical Intellimouse Explorer mouse.
Other than colour, I am hard pressed to figure out the difference, although
they are priced about $30 (Can.) differently. Looking at the specs on the
box, I can't see what extra I am paying for in the more costly version.

Can anyone tell me if they have had good or bad experiences with either of
these, but especially, what is the difference between them.

Many thanks in advance,

Michael
