I had both the apple BT mouse and the mx900. I actually had the mx900 first. Updated both firmware and drivers. It was not accurate and laggy. I stuck with the Apple BT even thoug…

Wow - I'm glad this topic got started! I didn't even try to assign the expose buttons, which yes, work perfectly! Nevermind - the buttons work fine, even without the hub. I don't…

I just got it for my XP box, and I like it a whole lot. The accuracy is excellent. I have heard that the frame rate is a little lower than the MX700 due to the BT bottleneck, but i…

Thanks RDiT. While I genuinely appreciate the advice, I'm not so desperate to use -RW discs to try it, but I took a look at that site anyway and read the following in the FAQ: Q:…

Hmm. So it was probably the cheap disc I used. Unless dropping my powerbook the other day damaged my drive in some way? But why would that affect only the DVD-RW function and no…
