Er, bad mouse? Now I have something new to worry over. What's wrong with the G3 iBook mouse? & what's a AEKII? The iMac mouse (I assume that is what you mean) is shaped like a hockey puck and is horrible to use. It's even recognized as a "Road Apple" product on Low End Mac, meaning it's one of App

Greetings. Well, I guess I had this coming posting directly to the PowerBooks list--though you've probably scared-off the one person here that WAS actually interested! I am not unaware that raw values are teetering--that was why (when I have something to sell, that is) I always try to add value

IMHO the best keyboard was (is for those still on non USB Macs) the one that shipped with the Classic/LC. Especially for those with big fingers. That keyboard had the biggest keys size and distance between keys, while the absence of numeric keypad is not an issue for those looking for typing speed
