    My thoughts exactly. Looks very similar to the IIGS keyboard indeed. The same keyboard I HATED!

    And a single-button mouse? I mean, who among us would go back to a single-button mouse? I guess my hopes for a two-button PowerBook trackpad will never be realized.

    Anyone have a replacement trackpad in the works? It'd sure be cool not to have to plug in my Logitech two-button all the time.

    I can't believe that Apple stiill won't acknowledge that they need multi-button mice (esthetics or not).

    Apple loves to tout how games like Quake 3 look great on a Mac. Have you ever tried playing Quake 3 with a one button mouse? Did you survive longer than 10 secs after you re-spawned?
