the single button mouse has been a pain. I don't know why apple held onto it for so long. I guess now that pc users are moving to mac more and more and they want their 2-button mouse functions without having to remember any additional key, apple has no choice but to produce a better mouse.

"The Button That Wasn't
Alas the fate of the one-button mouse in today's multibutton world. Who has time for intuitive, elegant design when there is so much clicking to do? Thanks to a smooth top shell with touch-sensitive technology beneath, Mighty Mouse allows you to right click without a right button. Capacitive sensors under Mighty Mouse's seamless top shell detect where your fingers are and predict your clicking intentions, so you don't need two buttons -- just two fingers. Click on the left side to use Mighty Mouse in its simplest, single-button form. Click on the right to access contextual menus within applications and edit, copy, label or download from your mouse. It's simple sleight of hand."
Before the 10.4.2 patch I had a battery status icon and a clock in the upper right hand corner of the screen. After applying the patch, all I have is a spinning pinwheel where those items used to be. What gives? Anyone else have these items MIA?
Well I thought they were supossed to fix the compatability between and the VPN cleints with this patch...I guess they forgot.
I guess I will have to wait till the vendor gets time with apple to fix this issue
(unable to even install CheckPoint secureClient with 10.4.x)
this sounds alot like a story i read a long time ago in a mag called OMNI (now out of print). it was a story of a robot that was capable of reparing as well as making replicas of itself from the raw materials around it. think the story took place on some planet like mars. to to the task at hand, more robots were needed so it used the minerals in rock formations to clone itself. it was a facinating story and now i guess, a few years later, someone has taken a scifi story and made an attempt at it in the real world.
Is it just me or has this been already used daily system administrators. I have always used a laptop to console into my unix and linux systems to install the OS as well as setup routers etc. Does there really need another development effort for something already available? I have even used another uxix/linux box and exported it's display to another machine.
All you have to do is pick any fariy tale and change the names to fit. For instance the part or the evil villan can be named Bill Gates and the fairy god mother named OpenSource.:-)
