Oh, that sounds so sad.

We have larger than standard ones, you could use them as a desk blotter if
you had a very small desk.  They are 23x28cm. as compared to the standard
ones of 20x23cm.

I find my mouse is much happier now that he has more space to roam, it
also makes it much easier to find the damn thing when the papers start
to pile up.  Yes it is an improvement.

They are not on the SGI price list I don't think.  You might be able to get
them from CDC.  I ordered them by mistake, they came with mice with the CDC
logo on them.  Opps.  The SGI spare part number is 021-9033-001 for those of
you who do NOT want to order them by mistake.

Have Fun,
