We have two G3 Macs on an Airport network at home, and the first thing I bought for both was an "XLR8" scroll-wheel mouse. (Just thinking about that hockey puck that came with the iMac makes me shudder.) I bought an Apple Pro keyboard to use with my Pismo in desktop mode, but was very disappointed to see that the corresponding mouse (while I like the feel and the look of it) did not finally come with a scroll wheel. As Tillz rightfully points out, a scroll wheel makes life on the web a much more pleasurable experience for many. And once you get used to it, it's really annoying to have to use a friend's machine for web browsing (whatever the platform) when their mouse lacks a scroll wheel. Personally, I never use the second button, but that little wheel is my best friend online. And Apple could easily incorporate a scroll wheel into their current one-button mouse. It wouldn't really violate their design philosophy, but would add a wonderful tool for any user who chose to take advantage of it. -- John Bertram [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
