Problems with Optical Mice?

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has ES problems with optical mice? That
is, the computer mice that had a red light on the bottom of them?
I don't, but it occurs to me that a really sensitive person might
perhaps have a problem with them, whereas they might have been
fine with the old-style ball mice. (although, for the record,
I'm still using a ball mouse at both home and at work!)

We had one that came with the previous pc we had. It took less than
a week for us to get rid of it. Had light going out the end to the
reader, where if you put your fingers over it, and that was easy to
do as it was fairly small, it would "burn" your fingers.

Love my roller track ball.

My father who barely noticed anything electrical felt that too.
The other thing he noticed, is the remote controls for tv/satellite,
when he'd sit in his recliner w/feet up, -you know how some men surf-
would start making his feet and lower legs hurt, because the way the
beam goes out when you're zapping it. Depends some on location
height I'd guess too.
