I think that must be for the installation (and it says 25 MB on Windows). it
only occupies 1 MB on my machine. It's a great mouse.

I'm sure it will work with 10.3 when it comes out. Maybe they have an
advance copy. ;-) I guess they also took it to heart that Roman numerals
don't have decimal points. (Needless to say, MS Mouse is not made by the
Macintosh Business Unit)
