Apple introduces Mighty Mouse
Apple Computer announced a new generation of computer mice that lets users scroll in any direction and program up to four seperate programmable buttons. A device for "natural, fluid movements" letting users scroll vertically, horizontally and diagonally.

”We've simply built a better mouse,” said David Moody, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Mac Product Marketing, in a prepared statement. “Mighty Mouse adds functionality while retaining the elegant, easy-to-use Apple design.”

And you are able to do the "right-click" as well.

System requirements: USB 1.1 port, Mac OS X and later or Windows 2000 or XP. (for button programming, Mac OS X 10.4.2 or later is required)

According to the current rates on the XE.com Universal Currency Converter . . . US$49.00 = AU$64.07

Anyway, it's about time Apple started to offer a mouse with more than just one button! Why it's taken them so
long to produce a proper mouse on which you can context click with one hand rather than two, I don't know!

Mozilla = Swiss Army Knife: It's versatile, reliable, and contains useful tools.
Microsoft Internet Explorer = Old Swiss Cheese: Full of holes, and it stinks!

Just called an Apple retailer, the initial supply of the new Apple Mighty Mouse will be in mid-August.

NOT fair.

That mouse looks awesome. I dont think it would go with my computer though, the case is jet black and blue and the monitor is silver. As for me I will pass. I hope they re name it something better than mighty mouse, it reminds me of a 50's cartoon with mickey mouse "i'll save you".

Well, guess what?

Antony is not used to multi-button mouse. So he adjusted the preference to single button usage:


Horizontal scrolling is really useful, Antony also hates horizontal scrolling. (Antony does not open any browser windows in full screen size, usually around 800 pixel wide.)
