Cool, forgot about those screenshots which I do occasionally need. Thanks. Yes, I have an MS Optical mouse with a roller wheel between the buttons, I may try that...but it doesn't look near as cool as the pro mouse that came with the QS. These machines are works of art, not only easy to use, but easy to work on, I love the fact that the side panel opens so easy and everything is within easy reach. I haven't even turned it on yet and am already in love with it.
What's the large (half dollar size maybe), round, sunken, silver, hole on the front, just below the reset button? Is it a button or a speaker? Guess I could drop the side open and look from the inside huh. Also in the back, at the top, just below the handle, there is a little lever or something that is spring loaded and comes out, what is it?
