I've been using the Microsoft Intellimouse Wireless for a few months now on my B&W G4, now running 10.2.1. The nice thing with it is that Microsoft did port their Intellimouse software to OS X. The less nicer thing is that this thing sucks batteries like you wouln't believe. I have to replace a set of 2 about every 2 weeks. Plus, and I think this has something to do with OS X, since I've never experienced this while running OS 9, the mouse goes to sleep very quickly. Something like 30 or 45 seconds. And then, no matter how you move it, at least in my case, it won't come up. I have to click a button, any button, to make it wake up. That is really frustrating at times. Also, when using the scroll button, it seems that the Intellimouse software gets caught in some endless loop, i.e. it won't get out of that mode until you click somewhere. I thought that, on OS 9, as soon as you release the scroll button, the mouse stops scrolling the content of the window or list, but that doesn't seem to be the case under OS X. So, I think that there is still some snafus or quirks that need to be worked out of the Intellimouse software. You have been warned! However, it's nice not having the cord anymore... -Laurent. -- =========================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************* Usual disclaimers apply ************************* fudge: 1. vt.
