You should try to make your scripting/plug-in system powerful enough that you can implement a lot of the out-of-the-box features in scripts. This way power users can not only add new functionality, but they can tweak bits and pieces of existing functionality to meet their needs and wants. Also, I thought I should add this.

I don't remember if I've pointed this out to you before or not, but divil has some good articles on developing a plug-in/scripting system for your application. They're old (written for earlier version of the framework) and introductory, but they're a good place to start. Here's the link: http://divil.co.uk/net/articles/ I think having both a plug-in and scripting system is a good idea as long as you make the scripting quick and painless to use. They can both work off the same base system, but the scripting one will just compile the code at run-time rather than loading an assembly. Also, don't forgot to allow for plug-ins that want to modify the UI, and not just interact with the server/channel objects. A couple more years and you’ll be knockin’ out code faster than me.

It's wired and doesn't have a flared bottom. I’ve been thinking about getting a Logitech G5. It’s wired and doesn’t have a flared bottom.

I used an optical mouse I got for $6 until it was barely functioning, then I bought the mouse woot.com had a couple months ago. It's a gaming mouse, so it's pretty nifty. As far as wireless, I've never used 'em. I think it's a pain in the butt to have wireless because you're always replacing the battery. Just stick with good ol' wired.
