not only did he ignore the original mac mouse, but he also didn't
mention the several variants of the adb mouse (not just shape), that
the zero-button design falses a lot and how often the trackpea on the
apple mouse (can't call it mighty mouse) gets jammed and that it's next
to impossible to clean. 

he also ignored the magic trackpads, and that an apple-provided mouse
is not even required. there were multi-button adb mice and trackballs,
and of course, countless usb ones.
