Drown those rodent blues with Shiuming Lai

** Body text **
     Replacement Atari mice are hard to come by these days, and 
the ones which do pop up from time to time are often not much of 
an improvement over the standard Atari model. System Solutions' 
attempt to redress the balance is this specially-commissioned 
design, made to its own specification.
     Ergonomically shaped to the contours of the hand, it feels 
good, and in common with its contemporaries, the microswitched 
buttons make it light and responsive in operation. A generous 
lead is attached while a flick of a switch enables it to be used 
on Amigas. Those who value their street cred will undoubtedly
appreciate the System Solutions logo emblazoned on the top.
     An amusing bit of blurb on the box says it doesn't require 
external power. I should hope so too! At the end of the day, it's 
a little pricey, but it works well and there is not a lot of 
choice. It would make a nice gift.
