apart from the connector, that's a stock Logitech C7. damn, that brings back memories... the serial port version of the C7 was the first ever graphical pointing device i owned and used, hooked up to an old 80286 AT clone. i wish i would have kept it - the mouse, that is; good riddance to the 286. that old logitech was downright indestructible. i believe i wore out one or two other, newer, mice before finally selling the 286 system with mouse and all, still working just fine. it was also the most comfortable, ergonomic mouse i've ever tried, in spite of its angular and clunky appearance; for some odd reason it just fit my hand absolutely perfectly. that's not just sentimentality speaking, either, i remember being amazed back when i still owned it that it could actually be *more* comfortable to use than an all-curves microsoft 2-button mouse. at the time i chalked it up to the C7 having three buttons to spread my fingers out better, but now i'm not sure how it worked. still wish i would've kept it...

i was going through some old computer crap at my parents house (they don't want me using their place as my personal storage unit anymore) and i found the original user manual for the c7!
