      This is not too bad a price for the GPS mouse itself, which is one of newer higher-sensitivity ones, if you use instore pickup.

      2008 is the first version to require activation.

      #5,

      Go to Kazakhstan and piggy back on a rocket launch. When you are near a GPS satellite, jump onto it and download the following FORTRAN line of code:

      Hmm...actually a decent deal. Can't find it this cheap even on eBay.

      For those who might not know, this is not a complete GPSr. It is a receiver (about the size of a mouse) which plugs into your laptop usb port, and map software to be loaded into you laptop. It is the cheapest way to go, and it works well, but it is of course way more cumbersome than a regular GPSr.

      @#2 & #9, it's not a GPS mouse, nor is it the size of a mouse.

      This is a GPS transponder. This is smaller than a mouse. With a smaller laptop- this is not cumbersome at all, unless your handicapped perhaps, which if that's the case, please don't drive, much less drive and use any form of GPS.

      You have to activate this now?

      Does that mean you can not install it on more than one computer? I have used several previous versions without the GPS, but always installed it on my PC and my laptop. I am not buying 2 copies with the GPS, when I don't even want the GPS.
