Out of curiousity... What kind of mice do you like (yeah, no furry jokes please)? I have one mac which uses the apple optical and I got used to it after a few hours... But I have big hands... Didn't notice any tracking issues, etc... There is the one-button thing... > Do people get Logitech optical mouses for their G4s? (does the scroll-wheel > work?). I've seen G4s, with regular "ball" mouses, I saw one made in China, > it > felt decent. Logitech makes good mice... I have one which I use on an ibook. The scroll wheel works, you just need to install drivers (you can use logitech's or some you can download called "usb overdrive"). Performance is about the same as microsoft's mice, as I believe they licenses their tech from them. On my personal machine I have used the normal microsoft intellimouse but I usually use the intellimouse explorer... Some people feel it is too big, but I have big hands and it is excellent. Plus, the buttons on it just felt natural to me after using it for a day, and have really improved my productivity... You can program them for individual applications, like the thumb buttons become cut and paste in my email app, but page up and down in acrobat, etc. I even use it for unreal/quake, and haven't noticed the tracking issues some people bring up, but I have the sensitivity set pretty high so I can fling the curser across my big monitors. :) -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
