    With apple innovating so much and putting so much thought into style, I guess we can see why Macs are "the" gay computer, and will stay that way for years to come.

    A mouse on your modem huh, how qute. There is no real need to be an ass you know, especially if you screw up in your post anyways. Should I go "BZZZT, try again" as well?

    Well, here it is.
    BZZZT, try again. The PeeCee didn't have any use for that mouse back in '83, while the ST at least had a coherent GUI and OS. Besides, who gives a flying f^Hduck? The mouse conceptualized from the Xerox PARC project. They were the first. Everyone feel better now? Look, they'll be those who will keep on ranting about the 1-button since well... thats all there is to rant about. Frankly, I don't get what the problem is. The interface is FULLY usable with the stock mouse. Yes, I prefer my optical 3-button mouse. Yes, I will use it with my Mini or iBook when I get it.
