I like PowerBook keyboards, too. Go to a CompUSA and look at what they've got: there are a few Logitech models that use laptop keys. I personally have a Kensington SlimType, which …

I've got 2 of the Kensington SlimType models and love them. I originally bought one, and have since switched all my systems to this keyboard.

I definitely like my G4 PowerBook's keyboard a lot better. I miss it a lot now that I have my Power Mac G5. I bought the MacAlly IceKey in hopes of getting the same feel as my Powe…

The SlimType's keys are about equally stiff as those of the PowerBook -- they sound a bit more clackety, though. The PowerBook and desktop keyboards have identical key size and sp…

I got a MM for $50 not too long ago, and now the scroll wheel broke. It scrolls down, but it doesn't scroll up. Is there anything I can do about it? Thanks in advance.

Yup, call apple and get them to send you a new one. I had my second one bust on me a week ago. Both mice scroll wheels break scrolling in one direction after a few months.

Bummer. Is this like a widespread issue?

Try cleaning the scroll-ball with a microfiber cloth, or slightly dampened paper towel. Did the trick for me.

Happens here as well. Scrolling down has become damn unreliable. Let's hope they revise the internals before too long

I'm willing to bet these things don't make it over 1.5 years.

I brought it to work in my bag, and when I got to work it worked! Yipee! Perhaps bouncing around in my bag helped it somehow...

I've used some isopropyl alcohol to clean the scroller ball. Fixed a stuck roller several times now.

Mine flakes out every now and again - won't scroll down. I find if I press the ball while rolling down, it'll come back to life, and then be fine for weeks...

Mine just flaked out and wouldn't scroll down. I googled and got this link and this thread! Holding the mouse upside down and rolling the ball against the mouse mat worked for me.

Not quite a double post, I wrote that in Quick Reply and the page froze, so I found the thread and the post was there but it didn't update the thread to the top of the list, so I p…

Mines crapping out as well.. Scrolls in all directions but down now. Ive tried cleaning the ball as best I can, and it sometimes helps a bit, but not for long. Think i'll just have…

Mine is not scrolling down again now, I've rubbed it over the mouse mat (which has worked before), rubbed it over paper (which has also worked before), pressed the ball down and bl…

Same problem here, often won't scroll down. Apple should really have made then clean-able ..

Hi, Could someone please share with me some sample code of how to use vbscript on an ASP page to display the html of another url? (I know that this is an ASP question posted on a…

The trickiest part of this is actually getting the remote URL. First question: are you trying to do this with server-side VBScript (as part of the ASP page), or client-side VBScri…

I'll prefix this by saying most of what i've done on the windows side has been with c# in asp.net if you're using visual basic.net, microsoft has a nice tutorial for how to downlo…

well, in that case, I think it's misleading that Apple but in a bluelight for the promo video. Looks alot better, IMO.
