Apple has always had a weird thing about mice as well. That hockey puck was absolutely horrible. But then, the so-called "Mighty Mouse" was not that far behind IMO. After the initial one-button mouse of the original Mac, I've not used an Apple mouse full time ever - but I am *considering* getting one of the new mice because it feels good ... but it'll be hard to tear me from my Logitech.

) Nutballs was talking a bit ago about an M$ keyboard he say that was all glass, but that sensed where your fingers were and placed the keys underneath them ... I think that's pretty clever.
