I got tired of no right click and used BootCamp to put XP on my MacBook. I admit to being lazy. Maybe too much for my tired brain. I do like WinXp, but if it's going to be mac or xp, then maybe I'll take Mac. :)

I use ctrl-left click, which brings up your right click menu.
|
you can enable right click in the system preferences, or, do like I did, and dump that crappy Apple-supplied mouse, and use a REAL one!
|
Hey, that crappy mouse is beautiful, those curves, buttons and shineyness.. That being said.. When I use a Mac, I use my three button mouse. :)
|
I use my Logitec MX
|
An AirMX.. I love it, its great great great for standing up away from the PC, and moving the arrow around.
|
How is the sensitivity on that thing Cybie? I was tempted to get one, but I thought it would be hard to exercise detailed control with it..plus its 150 bucks here if I recall!
|
It was 149 (CAD).
You control it with micro movements, little gestures.. don't forget that it has a very sensitive giro(sp?) in it. All you need to go up and down is to give a slight twitch.. easy for me. (chuckle) It also has laser point for on the pad photoshop detail too. The Air stuff is great for distance computing, presentation, and the battery life is pretty long, and its shiney.. nice and shiney and comes with its own paired bluetooth usb adapter already, no need to pair it. (works out of the box). The cons are.. For the price its 150 dollars?! Its a little small on the hand, I'm using my normal mouse for everyday computing (a cireo something) Its not heavy, and doesn't have any wirers so it can get lost easily.. I've learned to put it back in the base, or near the base when I'm finished using it. |

A month ago, I helped my sister upgrade her 10 year old Toshiba laptop to a Macbook and now a few weeks later her 5 year old Desktop setup running XP is crashing. She's PC moxy and has done all the right things. We agreed she needs to upgrade equipment, so I'm helping her with a 3 GHz iMac 24" with 4 GB of ram. Been shipped (she lives in the boonies in Montana). You can't drive to the local Apple Store. :)
Another happy convert. The jury is still out for me. I like my 13" MacBook, but I also like my custom assembled desktop with infinate hardware reconfiguration possiblilities--part of the fun. Yet, now that I'm getting on in age, it might be better to get rid of those dozen shoe boxes of IBM compatible PC parts I have collected over the past few years. |
