and the lack of mouse buttons and scroll wheels on the mac?
(brain explodes)
Why not just get a mouse you like? I've got a Dell-badged Intellimouse on the PowerBook I'm using right now, and the machine at home is an old Intellimouse Explorer that I've had for donkey's years.
Any USB mouse will work. Just fine. And the OS can use it too; I get right-button context menus, scrolling in the web browser, and one of the spare buttons kicks in the Expose window switching.
the day they figure out how to make the CD appear next to the keyboard when ejected will be the day I see the point of putting the eject key *on* the keyboard.
I find the eject button on the keyboard is much easier to find than one on the system unit. Hit it without looking, reach out and grab the CD from the tray without looking. I don't find it as easy to hit an eject button on a CD drive itself without looking.
