PowerMac G5s come with a one-button mouse, hence it is related.

Only as far as functionality. When it comes to style it wins against all the rest. Now as far as comfortability, that just takes some getting use to, as with any mouse.

I dunno, I don't think they're much more stylish than a shiny potato.

Come to think of it, the mouse is an obvious example of Apple's priorities.

Apple's mouse is "prettier" and less functional, and so is OS X's interface.

Less functional? Apple strives to keep OS X's interface as clean looking as possible and less cluttered than Windows. The extra functionality in OS X is there if you know where to find it, but most users won't even bother using the extra functionality.

Great link.

quote: I read Mr Pogue's Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, and am about to finish reading his Switching to the Mac; BUT let me tell you, I own an imac 17" LCD on a Pedestal with extra ram, extra speakers (candlesticks) and a .Mac account for their lousy mail service and I also own a DELL 2.66 GigaHertz and a 20" LCD Monitor and identical graphics software and Microsoft Office on each Machine and I would choose the Dell hands down for being more dependable, faster and more fun to operate. The Mac also gives me troubles, freeze ups, bad drivers, stupid tech support, phone calls which take 2 hours fix a problem to get to a real specialist. I have had no problems with my XP Professional. They run together on a cable modem with a router and The PC wins. The MAc needs work. I have owned 14 Macs since 1984 and they are superior in Itunes and ipod but the rest, I have to give thumbs down.

quote: I switched from Mac OS to Windows XP, after getting really sick of not having Mac versions of the software I wanted for finance, medicine, programming, games, etc. This book does nothing for me, except to convince me that I made the right move by using a platform used by 98+% of personal computer users.

Don't troll me like that, Asher. Ming warned you about that. That's just 2 out of the 5 reviews. The rest are all very positive.

give me functionality over style any day. one button mouse? it really sucks to use the default mouse when you're browsing, or editing video, stylish be damned.

Makes a great display for the boss who can't use a mouse anyway, though.
