I just bought a new optical mouse for my Apple IIc.

(pause for questioning looks)

It's a Mouse Systems Little Mouse. I noticed about a year ago a web site
that had two of these for sale (old new stock, not used) and I had been
waiting to order something else from them to get one. I finally ordered,
and got the last one. It's one of the early optical mice that requires a
special mouse pad with a grid on it. Fortunately the mouse pad is
included with the mouse!

It cost me $22.50 (about US$10) which is less than a tenth of the
original price.
