It must've been the mouse b/c neither the B&W nor the Pismo would use the mouse in OS X. AppleSystemProfiler would say that a device was present but nothing would happen with it. I installed the Logitech software on both machines and didn't get any improvement -- even if it did, there's no reason a simple two button/scroll-wheel *mouse* would require a driver.

I suspect that it's a different model from the one you have (b/c the part # was different from the part # listed on Logitech's website). Anyway, I now have another mouse which is equally functional. But, now I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my ADB TurboMouse and Apple Extended Keyboard II (ADB) -- do I get an iMate to run them on the laptop, or should I invest in a USB Kensington 4+ button TurboMouse (but that still leaves me without my trusty Extended Kybd II... the Pismo has a decent keyboard, but *nothing* touches the Extended Kybd II, especially the crap Apple has provided as USB keyboards in the past few years (including the new full-sized keyboard, which was a marked improvement over the pathetic tiny thing that preceded it))?
