[QUOTE="jonnyd, post: 396393, member: 31029"] Assuming you're looking at product development, would it help to say what we don't like? I don't like the fact the keyboard has 2 brain dead USB ports. It'd be great to be able to plug any USB device into those, but they're not powered, so if you try just about anything except a mouse it won't work. Can't be THAT hard to solve. I also hate the way the DVD drives work. All control over ejecting is given to the operating system, and it is notoriously unreliable. Let me tell you, if I hit the eject button on the keyboard 5 times, it means I want to open the drive. No, I don't care if OSX thinks I shouldn't be doing that. Open the drive. Restarting the machine to get the disk drive open is absurd. Put the button back on the drive. Thanks :D On the plus side - what I like about Apple stuff is the engineering, design and quality. The Isight for example - it's virtually useless. but it's really nicely made. I have never used mine, ever - either my Mac wasn't able to run one, or there were no drivers, or nobody I know uses Ichat, or whatever, but it's so nicely made I don't resent having bought it at all. Don't make crappy knockoffs, people don't want those attached to their Macs. [/QUOTE]
