   I'd have to disagree. I find the ADB Mouse II has less of a feel
than the original ADB Mouse, which for one thing the latter has a 
weighted ball (metal with rubber skin) and modest sized button.
The new mice remind me of that short time Apple shipped the original
ADB mouse with a smaller, hollow plastic ball to cut production costs
(around 1989, when the ROM 3 was introduced). I Also dislike the tear-
drop shape or the fact the entire back end of the new mouse is now a 
huge button. 

   I suppose it's a matter of taste though, I'm sure there are still 
a handul of people who have a preference for the original Mac 128/IIe/c 
mouse! ;) (ick!)
