One has to wonder how much business he's lost the company over the term of 
his employment.  I have no idea if the VX Nano works, but _of course_ most 
Logitech mice _do_ work with Linux.  But I get your point - it's not even so 
much whether or not the mouse works in Linux, as the fact that the company's 
representatives care so little about Linux that they aren't even aware that 
_some_ of their products work just fine.
