When dust gets into it stops working. Away with the scroll wheel, in with the touch. I hate the mouse ball on the top of the Mighty Mouse. When dust gets into it stops working.

Touch-sensitive mouse! I've been looking on getting a mouse for my MBP, and didn't hear lots of good things about Apple's current Mighty Mouse (primarily complaints about the ball), so I guess I'll just wait for this and see how it does before going with a 3rd party mouse.

I threw it a way and replaced it with the first of the optical wireless's available from Logitech. When I left the class for good, classmates reminded me that I forgot my mouse. No I didn't forget ,as this was my contribution/gift to the next user of this computer I wouldn't wish that crappy mouse I inherited before on my worst enemy. There is a new technology already in use which is/has made the whole mouse idea obsolete I forget what its called but I intend to check it out . I used to marvel at the mouse in the late 70's now my love for it is fading--fast. I have a Logitech MX Revolution and the latest illuminated keyboard and the Orbit webcam and I'm already waiting for a change.

But who would want to get rid of the scroll bar!? I could imagine putting a multitouch pad in the keyboard, but at least keep the scroll ball! I think that it’s the scroll ball.
