One little piece of info is outdated. The Mighty Mouse is history. It works great when it works, but the little ball gets dirty easily and is practically impossible to clean. It’s like the old ball type mice, except you can’t take the ball out and clean it. I picked up a Magic Mouse and it is cordless the back is a trackpad. I like it a lot better.

I love my Magic Mouse, too. It came with my new IMAC, which I'm still learning my way around. Some things, such as IPhoto are different, and I have to figure out the changes, but all in all, it's a great computer. I think this is my 7th or 8th Mac. They keep coming out with newer, bigger, better--LOL!
Luckily, I have many children and grandchildren to pass the "old" ones to.

That is why you have the lessor type of mice, with or without wires. :)

This info is great even for someone who has moved up in regards to going from one Mac to another. I have just gotten a Mac mini or a little tower. :)

I hear those are nice. I got the big IMac. I love the huge flat screen on it.
