Mouse firm offers Father's Day gift suggestion

Gaudy neckwear can be a safe choice for a Father's Day gift. But then gift givers might want to heed the fashion maxim of film-maker John Waters, who supposedly said something like: "A man should never wear a tie louder than his wife."

One non-necktie Father's Day gift option to consider for a wireless dad is an accessory from Newton Peripherals of Natick, the folks who brought you the MoGo family of Bluetooth-enabled computer mice, which are roughly the size of a business card and that store in the PC card or ExpressCard/54 slot of notebook PCs.

The company said that is now offering a custom skin for the MoGo Mouse that proudly displays ". 1 Dad."

"MoGo is the perfect mouse for any Dad who needs maximum productivity from his laptop without the extra bulk," Matt Westover, president and chief executive of Newton Peripherals, said in a statement.
