Well tell us then, if it has been a year since the question was asked: Did the Mighty Mouse turn out to be a Puck?
You must be calendarally challenged; August of last year was only 7 months ago.
Also your link is misspelled... it links to "Macweekly not Macweakly.
In answer to your question, no, it is quite popular and most user have no problems once you learn how to use it. Your source article is from July of 2005... and was a pre-release commentary for the mouse. Post release articles have had nothing but praise for the sophisticated Mighty Mouse.
Re: the "hockey puck"... do you always rant about 8 year old products that were discontinued almost as soon as they were released?
If you don't like Macs, why post inflammatory and incorrect information?
This is just more FUD... probably because Windows Vista has just announced they are going to miss another "firm" release date and that 60% of their code has to be re-written.
You are not going to convince anyone who actually USES a Mac, and knows better, that your misinformation is true, or that a few minor problems experienced by a few Mac users are somehow rampant in the Mac world and impacting all Mac users. Are you so insecure in your choice of computer platform that you have to attack the choice of others? Just ignore it, and Mac users won't bother you.
