You're gonna love your new machine. no, I agree with you totally (Y) A good mouse for a Mac is the Microsoft Ice addition. I have used it and it is great, and it looks the best also.

jackwanders Posted May 17, 2003 Author Share Posted May 17, 2003 how much did you spend on the laptop, if you don't mind me asking? I bought it stock, no extra RAM. It was $2639 after my student discount. If I need more RAM, I can always get it somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that mouse, and it's nice, but I want something I can take w/ me in my bag. The USB plug on the one I bought slips right into the mouse itself and when you do that the power shuts off to save the battery. It's a perfect mobile mouse, IMO. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Dragon Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Well, there's the Blue line from MS: http://microsoft.com/hardware/mouse/omb_info.asp The Bluetooth one: http://microsoft.com/hardware/mouse/wiebt_info.asp This mouse now works with Mac OS X, even though the web site says it does not... And there's the Macally Ice mouse: http://www.macally.com/spec/usb/input_devi...e/icemouse.html But I'm not sure about an MS Ice mouse... Could be a nickname or code name... -SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 I'm tempted to get one of those Bluetooth Microsoft mice. I had the radio version of the same mouse, and have to say it was crap. Ate batteries and was often jerky and/or unresponsive. Hope the bluetooth version is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
