Hooking Up 2 Mice to One Computer

[lax1113]

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone knew how I could hook up two mouses (mice?) to one computer/monitor and have two cursors show up. I have searched a few times and found a couple of ideas that I don't fully understand because I am not that great with computers, I was wondering if someone could dumb it down for me or suggest something to do. I want it because me and my buddy play online poker and we like to multi-table, as we are both playing at the same computer, same name. Sometimes its hard to communicate whether or call/raise/fold whatever on table 7, when so many are up, so we are hoping to cut out hte middle man and be able to both have a cursor on the same screen. Insane? definetly... possible? you tell me

thanks guys

You can have two mice, but you'll only have one cursor.

With multi-touch technologies being developed,
you probably see more things like

(I'm sure that some one can do stuff with multiple wiimotes:
