    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?

  4. "New" Apples by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Why is it every time Apple bumps it's processor speed or HD size up a bit it is news? If Dell got the same sort of coverage they would be on Slashdot every day. The iMac, Flat Panels, G4, & Cube are notewothy, but a "new" device that is simple a .2 Ghz faster processor or a 10GB larger Hd is not news, it is an upgrade.
