(Look for the holes...)

About your enquiry:
	"I am interested in finding out about a type of mouse that apparently
	comes from Switzerland."

These must be the mice originally made by Prof. J.D. Nicoud, of the EPFL in Lausanne.  These little creatures are hemispherical with three buttons on the front (not top).

They have become quite popular with several groups, including Niklaus' Wirth's group working on the Lilith personal computers at the ETH in Zurich.

I am not too familiar with BBN's plans, but I have also heard that they are using them for the Jericho (unverified).

Anyway, the address of the company is:

	Depraz SA
	CH1345 Le Lieu
	Switzerland

	Phone	(011-41) 21 851533.
	Telex		24 310

At one time, I remember seeing something about a US distributor, 
but I can't find a reference to them.  Perhaps the Digest can help.
