2 mice on one computer

Does anyone know of a good program for OSX that would allow for 2 mice to be used on the same computer. Currently, if 2 mice are plugged in they battle for control of the cursor. I would like a program that would create a second independant cursor. Any suggestions would be helpful.

What purpose would this serve? Can your eyes independently focus on 2 cursors at once? Or did you have the idea of 2 people working on one mac with 2 displays, or something (in which case, only one window would be active at a time anyway in OSX...

Some applications have seperate windows with different view points. They may also dieplay the same viewpoint all on one monitor. I would need this for having multiple people editing the same object at the same time. I know programs like this exist but i dont know where to get them.

If you were working to each other on the canvas it would get very confusing...then you'd need different colored pointers? Perhaps then even have their own keyboards?

I remember plugging my mouse into the person's keyboard to my right..and moving the cursor just ever so slightly... Aways fun.
