[QUOTE="didymus, post: 870148, member: 98293"] [b]Mighty (?) Mouse[/b] Is there any other mouse on the planet that "takes some getting used to"? The comparison with a stick shift doesn't work because we're talking about entirely different systems - automatic vs. manual control of the gearbox, but all mouses (I believe that's the correct plural :) ) are designed to perform the same tasks and the problem with the MM is that its functionality is not evident in the design, i.e., the left and right button functions are not evident in the smooth surface of the mouse and it is too easy to get the Dashboard popping up or the left button working instead of the right - bad design. I'm far from being the only person to ditch the MM - other discussion lists have many complaints about it. But, of course, Apple knows best and takes no notice of its customers :) The MacFormat magazine runs a series called 'Me and my Mac' - a couple of issues ago, the selected contribution showed a Mac alright, but with a non-Mac keyboard and a non-Mac mouse - should have been called 'Me and my Mac and Logitech ancillaries' :) [/QUOTE]
