Well, I'm one that has long felt that the Apple Magic Trackpad is a 
massively superior device to a mouse when it comes to positioning the 
cursor. It has been a long, long time since I used a mouse and in no 
way do I miss such.

I find most things easier with the trackpad, but I still use my logitech
marble thingy for things like selecting multiple items from a list,
something I find the trackpad is poor at.

Also, for playing Wow, not that I do that much anymore.

And what do you know, Apple nutter?  I don't see any suggestions from you.

Remember, "just works".  Benn replaced by, "always broke".

That's you:  always broke because a dick like you can't hold a job.

You know that for a fact Butch?

No?  I didn't think so.

You seem to be getting edgy, Butch.  Why's that; she had a "headache" last night?

BTW:  when are you and the little lady going to tie the knot?  Perhaps I'll send a wedding gift.

As far as I am concerned the mouse, regardless of buttons and such, has 
been completely outdated by the Magic Trackpad which, at least to me, 
is far easier to use.

those trackpads i find out are very hard for some to use and not
a deficiency and more of anatomical characteristics of the hand
