I bought my son a 27MHz wireless USB mouse for xmas and was 
surprised to find that it worked out of the box on linux, 
since not much works out of the box on Linux.  According to 
the spec, the mouse has a range of 5'. If you have multiple 
wireless mice working in proximity, do they interfer with 
each other, or are they like garage door openers, which have 
codes? The device has no way of setting a code that I could 
find (in the docs, on the device, or on the manufacturer's 
website).

Thanks Joe
