haha, yea SFNE. Altho I am not too bothered... If i do it'll be a Bluetooth one, but i'm not in any rush for any of that.

I wouldn't go with that just yet. They're pretty slow. Take it from me. :/

Heh, just noticed you have the same desk as me.. or rather the one I used to have. It's now propping up a hi-fi and some boxes in the other room :p

I don't see how anyone could cope with those one-button mice. That's one thing Apple got wrong IMO.

Truth is (read this somewere...) that when they were making a mouse for the mac Jobs turned down the purposed 3 button mouse cus he said it would confuse users on which button to press etc. Guess they refuse to do anything about it i wouldnt have a problem with it since any other usb mouse works you could practicly go but anything... I really dont see a problem with using ms mice either since they do make software for the mac.

Oh yeah and ill be another pc user to say that i want a mac lol :D

i can understand that logic. hell my parents can't even comprehend the difference between a single and double click. they double click on everything.

in all honesty, i rarely ever need more than one mouse button in osx. i am fairly content with using the touchpad of all things for most of the time. however, i do plug in my three button mouse to play games because well, you need those buttons for games.

just about everything done on a right click menu in os x can be done with a keyboard shortcut so i rarely find myself ctrl-clicking to get a right button menu.

The Apple Bluetooth Mice? :o Serious? :o

I love my Pro Mouse, I dropped my Wireless IntelliMouse for it. I personally prefer it, and probably wouldn't consider qa two or more button mouse again, so if i were to want a new one, thats how I'd go. Serious 'mate'? :p :o

Serious indeed. All Bluetooth mice have lag, or so I've heard, and I've heard the Apple Bluetooth Mouse is at least a bit better than the rest, but it's still jerky. Even my keyboard gets lag from time to time, so you can imagine mouse instructions.

I want that desk so bad. When I saw it I went :omg:. I don't have a mac (G5 to be specific) yet, and probably not until later this year, but I sure would love that cinema display, too. Makes my 17" lcd look puny :cry:. Anyways, why isn't this thread stickied yet? I love looking at this stuff.

    • Let's see how long this lasts. In the end, it comes down to productivity lost because of workflow disruptions. It's not even a question of "which is better", rather how painful will it be to switch and it's hard enough for a single person to switch - imagine an entire city's bureaucracy. Remember, there are governmental system in the US that are still using 5.25" floppy disks... Having been involved in these kinds of swaps, I can tell you - it's never as easy as the fanbase thinks it is.

    • It's all 1Password's fault for using it before anyone else. 🙃
    • Of course you would say that James. Mr everything Microsoft does is perfect. Mr who posts " I love it " on most articles regarding Microsoft. At least Firefox isn't a bloated pig that has an embarrassingly low market share given it's the default. Mr Microsoft evangelical James needs to learn some self awareness. It's embarrassing for you to criticize any browser give your worship of Edge.
