this is kind of a random question, but would it be possible to run two mice on the same computer, with each using a diferent pointer? I know that if you plug two mice into the same computer with one pointer, it just runs off of both mice. (If you are REALLY bored, you can try to keep the pointer in the center while moving both mice in opposite directions). Is there perhaps a program that i can use to create two windows pointers?

interesting question. I've always thought that 2 mice would make for a cool user interface for certain games. I've never seen anything of the sort though. Now that mice are usb, you'd think that multi-mouse support would be available somewhere.
