Create an optical mousepad for Sun3 Mice


Here's the postscript to do it. Send this straight to a postscript printer or use ghostscript/ghostview to view it and send it to a printer.

If you want to increase the "speed" at which the mouse moves on screen for a given movement of your hand, throw the paper on a photocopier and reduce it to 90% or 80% or less.
