The thought behind that is to keep things simple. Especally for people like my mother and grandmother and the rest of the world who gets confused when a little window pops up when they click.

The mouse really has 5 buttons, left, right, scrollball, and the side squeeze buttons (left and right).

The mouse is great especally for multi user homes where some people understand "right click" and others don't. It's configured on a per user basis and the default is everything is a left click, like current apple mice. This makes it painless for everyone to switch to!

I personally am planning on waiting until they jam some bluetooth in there before I go out and brab one (;

i want a wireless mouse that has GPS so i know where it is when i accidentally misplaced it..

I heard that Motarola, the company that makes Apple's CPUs lost their market shares, and Intel signed something up with them, so they're going to make the CPU's for Apple. Now Apples can run Windows programs. Yay!!!

It's kinda more of intel making faster prossessor that run cooler with less power (;

Now Intel says it's goig to make new chips http://online.wsj.com/public/article/0,,SB112380688787511502-nooFSw53SaO_RyjT6yfrOcG4UMw_20050911,00.html?mod=blogs
Just a stab, but it looks like Apple might of known about this before the decided to go with intel chips in 06

and...
Apple can run windows programs! http://darwine.opendarwin.org/ Wine for Darwin... yes yes!

I think more win-software will be ported to macs... That's all. Oh, and the prices are gonna go down.

word was that they actually added a speaker to make clicking noises...why the hell? If you unplug the mouse and click you will hear nothing. Plug it in and you will hear a semi-faint click. Pointless. I think someone should have the sucker and make it real campy. Squeeky noises and all the same.

I don't tend to use my mouse when it's unpluged much, but I guess if you do then that could be a turn off. (When they come out with a bluetooth one I bet you'll be able to hear the clicking sound all the time! So you may want to wait for that.)

The thought behind the sound when you click is to provide feedback for the click. There is no physical feedback for when you click, so the clicking sound provides some feedback for you! Without that it would probably cause lots of people headaches from not knowing if they clicked or not.

Talking about prices of mouse mine mouse is 5 buttons + wheel and i've bought it 1 year past payed in your curency 10Euro in mine 40Lt :-)

I feel that I must correct some things

Motorolla has not made PowerPC processors for Apple in Years. The last cpu they made was the G4 550.

Apple was simply not ordering enough to make it profitable for Motorolla to continue producing.

Apple then started getting chips from IBM as they use them in a couple of series of there enterprise class servers.

They took it from the G4 733 and the dual 733 g4 sawtooth to the current G5 line.


Now on to might mouse information. what I found interesting is windows xp it does not need anything for it to work perfectly . OSX Tiger 10.4 I had to install new apple drivers to get ti to work properly .


I so far have not been impressed as I been through 3 mighty mice so far.

Why doesn't apple just start making 3-5 button mice like everyone else? I mean what purpose does it serve to be so much behind everyone else? Personally, I'm an XP user.

Apple Sucks.

Switching to intel was a good idea becouse there proccessors suck.

Don't diss until you know what you're talking about... or at least check your facts before you make a fool of yourself.

How do their processors suck? Give some data here, explain your statement with an argument. Don't just guess, or tell me you've had problem with school computers, or your friend couldn't run cracked software on it, or some crap like that. I have yet to meet a person who switched to a mac and then returned to a pc.

When I first got it I was running 10.4.1 - worked fine, except for the expose/dashboard buttons (which I don't wanna use, really). The mighty mouse requires drivers to make the side buttons customizable, and it only runs on 10.4.2, but the software is 156MB, so I don't care much about installing them.
