Damn Mighty Mouse!

The thing already stopped working. It refuses to scroll down now. Bah.

Well I guess it's time for a new mouse. I'll get this one replaced but there's no chance in hell I'l continue using it.

This is going to sound odd but... Press hard down on the ball and scroll it around in circles, that should clear the obstruction and return operation.

Hey Stevo, I didn't see anything in your review, but have you tried using your mac with boot camp? I got myself one of their 3ghz badboys and everytime I boot into windows my audio sounds like ass, real low quality as if its being played from behind a glass. Sounds crystal clear in VMware so its clearly driver related. Just curious if you have the same problem.

Also on another side note, does your new iMac show up as a White Mac in the sidebar? Not really important, but mine does and its slightly annoying.

Nah, i don't have boot camp. My other pc is right next to me, so no reason for me to even want Windows on here. ;)

Just poking my head in to say I got nearly the exact same model as StevoFC last week, and love it to pieces. Haven't experimented much with OS X yet and am using Vista on it - I do a lot of work in Windows-only applications and can't switch just yet, so will experiment with Parallels when I get hold of it.

I already have spotlight disabled on the backup drives. It spins up every time the save as dialog comes up even if you don't select that drive. I hate that it does that. it shouldn't spin up unless you select the drive or something.

If it give you any comfort, I get the same thing too. I have indexing disabled, and whenever I bring up a dialogue box (like right clicking a link in Safari and clicking Download Linked File As) there's a couple second pause as my 5 drives spin up. It's really annoying :(

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?

      Ooooh! Two editorial from Paul Hill on the same day! Is it my birthday or something? 😉 Okay, let's see if I get it right. SearXNG develops a meta-search engine app. Individuals install it on their relays. Users connect to these relays to have their own identity-stripping meta-search engine instead of relying on DuckDuckGo. And some of these volunteers have listed their SearXNG instances on SearX.space. That was a lot of wrap my head around. I hope I haven't missed anything.
