    It was mentioned that Nylon I makes a good cheap mouse pad...
An even cheaper and possibly better mouse pad is the material used to cover 
drafting boards.  It only costs $0.013 per square inch ($20 per yard by 42 in.)
compared with $0.05 for Nylon I.  I bought it at a local art supply store.
Unfortunately I can't give you a fancy name for it as the sales clerk didn't
even know what it was called!  It is rubbery, smooth, firm, green on one side,
white on the other, and about a 1/16th of an inch thick.  I bought enough to 
cover my whole desk for $13.50.  Now I have an excellent writing surface as well
as a safe place for my mouse to run around...  (They claim it is also self-heal-
ing, what ever they mean by that.)
