Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Thanks a lot. This is probably the best feeling and handling mouse I ever had except for the scrolling. I am going to go back today and bring your list, but I keep adding money items to this netbook and will hopefully have my desktop back shortly. But at least I know it is not me. shake head
The Magic Mouse is an Apple product, expensive, you don't want it normally (I got it for when I boot to OSX, it's BT, so doesn't use a USB port). The M900 is unavailable, it is part of a Bluetooth keyb/mouse set from years ago (got it for the wireless range, it was for the computer hooked to the TV...which isn't there anymore, need to get one there again). The M705 is currently my favorite, as it has a power switch, and side and normal scrolls and the back/forward buttons all work without installing extra drivers. It is a mid-size mouse, larger than "notebook" class mice, but smaller than desktop. I have huge hands, and it is a little small for me, but normally I use the largest desktop mouse I can find. It also has the Unify USB receiver, which means I can add a Unify keyboard without having to add another receiver to the MBP (which only has 2 USB ports - disgustingly pitiful from Apple - this is the MacBook PRO, it should at least have 3-4 like any other notebook). It's expensive at $50 MSRP though (can't remember what I paid, probably $20 or so after a rebate, as I just won't pay that much).

The MX305 and 310s are on sale all the time at Staple, Officemax, Office Depot, etc, so don't pay full price, check your Sunday paper sale ads. They are the "cheaper" mice, no big set of extra buttons or anything, but they work well. They are the smaller notebook size.

I'd recommend hitting Logitech.com [logitech.com] and going over the features of their mice to find ones you like, then watch sale ads (and the Hot Deals forum here on SD) for a good price, and just suffer with a normal mouse until you get a good price on a better one.

I love them too - and there's also pink roses in there - definitely a beautiful flower arrangement! And, best of all FREE (would have cost almost $80-which I wouldn't have paid on flowers for myself).

I have not had time to go on all day except to read your one message this am. THANK YOU. I went to Staples and bought the MK320 Logitech. No big contraption to hook up as a routing splicer like the Microsoft and just a little adapter in the computer for this one. Best of all I can SCROLL AWAY. You guided me right! Was double the money but even the keyboard is fantastic. bbl


Just bought the Logitech like talonts told me to. Wonderful. More money than Microsoft but I really put this little netbook through more than it deserves.
Yep, more expensive, but worth it. I have an MK550 set waiting in its' box from last Black Friday, if I ever fix my desktop, I'll be using it. The MK3xx series are very nice too (I got the 550 because I use a Wave keyboard on my dead desktop, and really like the layout, and the 550 was the only MK set with the Wave layout).

And unlike the older Logitech wireless stuff, you SHOULD be able to have one on your desktop and not have it interfere with the one on your netbook, as the Unify receivers are supposed to pair "properly".
