I currently have both a tablet & a Netbook with Bluetooth. However, my hands
are big enough that I find most of the Bluetooth mice uncomfortable to use.

Are there any full-size Bluetooth mice available?

There are a number of full sized bt mice... I have one from microsoft
that is the same size as all of their other "standard" mice. Pretty
sure that logitech sells some as well and many companies such as dell
vend the same hardware with their name on it.

Might also take a look at http://mogostore.com/ as they have some
interesting mice that ride and charge in the pcmcia slot but are large
enough to fit large hands.

The information in the "MoGo Store" website us rather limited. A lot
more details are to be found on the main MoGo site:

Really valid recommendation!

One of the main advantages is that they can be stored inside the
computer and there is no "extra" to forget when leaving the house or
loose it when on the road.
Immediately after its appearance I bought the "classical" PCMCIA MoGo
mouse (also branded as "HP Card mouse) and later I got the "MoGo
Presenter Mouse X54T" which I use for the screenshows in my lectures.
Fantastic device. Only disadvantage: My good old HP tc1100 does gave a
PCMCIA card slot and I did not yet find an adapter for PCMCIA to X54
{siiigh} so that I can not store it inside the computer and need a
loading cable :-(

Do you have a model number for the MS Mouse?

Looks like the one I have (Microsoft Bluetooth Wireless Intellimouse
Explorer) may have been discontinued, but it's shown at
http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Blue.../dp/B00006LHSL
and
http://www.microsoft.com/products/in...60f67&type=ovr

....the prices for "used" and "refurb" seem to indicate they are beloved.

This one;

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mo...s.aspx?pid=013

....is not much smaller but much less expensive. (4")

You're right, *expensive*. ;-)

I forgot to mention earlier that I'm left-handed, so I need one that can be
used ambidextrously.

Unfortunately, I have some *feeling* problems with my hands, so, I also need
one at least 5" in length. My favorite wireless was the Logitech Cordless
Click; however, I don't really like the wireless dongle sticking out when I
need to move around. I've actually gotten pretty good at using the wireless
mouse on my shirt or leg. :-)

I can recommend the MS Laser Mouse 8000.
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mo...s.aspx?pid=084
Yea, expensive, but rechargeable, and ambidexterous.
