This is a bit off-topic, but for those of you fed up with large mouse
drivers, there is a driver called cutemouse 1.2 (ctmous12.zip I think)

It is 7k long, and 95% microsoft compatible.

I found it somewhere on simtel, and it is quite good..

Hope that's useful, and hope there isn't a huge mouse driver thread coming..
