about time, all they need to do now is release their G5 or their new IBM chip line for the powerbook!

You'll have to buy those seperately.

Oddly enough, Apple computers are just as functional with 1 button, 2 buttons, or no mouse at all.

it's touch sensitive guys. so if you press it on the left side, it'll be a left click. if you press it on the right side, it will be a right click.

i use a MX500 and it is 100% compatible with the macintosh. i don't know what's the big deal about apple only having a one button mouse. i spent 20 bucks for 8 buttons and a nice form fitting shell.

Big whoop, hey Apple how about building a laptop you can have on your lap without toasting your huevos. The wife bought me this nut roaster but the damn thing get really freaking hot. Who was the rocket scientist who said let's build it in metal that should dissipate heat quickly. Thank God I have kids already cause my swimmers are now burned . I guess they do it so you won't look at p0rn too long since the thing seems like it's going to melt .And while were at it how about a faster processor , the other laptops we have in the house have faster bus speeds and scream. It's not bad but could be much better given the higher price point.

New mouse ,big deal. I have to get a ice bag after typing this.
