I noticed the other day you had a reply, been kind of busy this week, and to respond today.

Well enjoy your journey, thanks for the compliment on the site, and maybe we’ll be in touch at some other time as well.

Take care.

Sincerely, Steve

My wife tried the trackpad on the new MacBooks the other day and said they feel even slower than the mouse (even on max acceleration). Not sure if there’s a workaround for that one, apart from using an external Logitech mouse!

You’ve done a good job customising Datanurbs - I hardly recognise it!

I think my iMac came with all the iLife stuff installed. At least I have iTunes, iPhoto, iCal, iWeb, iMovie, iDVD and everything else that seems to start with an ‘i’. You’ve got me thinking now though - I’m gonna stick the OSX discs in and see if I can find any hidden goodies.

The mouse as it came from Mac felt slow to me, (the feeling of dragging)having been accustomed to using the Logitech one for some time, and I looked to improve it, but hesitant to do so since I liked the look of that little white Apple mouse, but glad I did so, the Logitech a 2 button mouse and scroll wheel, and that suits my needs as I use the mouse for just about everything as I’m not versed in keyboard shrotcuts…so it works well for me, and that dragging feel is no more (about an inch of movement with the mouse will take the cursor from edge to edge on a 17′ screen, so that may be where most of the improvement seems to come from.)

Thanks for the compliment, it is one of your designs redesigined and I did give you credit if one would look at the source HTML. Its from “Datanurbs” and it took me a bit to put it together, eventually pretty much redoing the whole thing on Microsoft Word it I recall as I was having some issues with your cells not acting quite correctly. It is still in a preliminary state, but fun for now to have a site that perhaps one day to do something with.

Yes, the Mac is quite a nice little outfit, I had my fun with learning some things about it as I thought it was supposed to have more things on it, only to go to the install discs and put some things on; iLife, and Widgets and things of that nature, and I went on for some time wondering where these things were that were advertised with the Mac.

Well, take care and hope you enjoy your new learning experience.

Sincerely,

Steve

Thanks for the tip! If only I had a Logitech mouse. Ah well. I’m kinda used to the acceleration now - I have it set to maximum and it’s just about bearable. Anything under maximum requires big sweeping RSI-inducing mouse movements!

Still amazed that Apple give you such limited control over this…

Anyway I’m pretty happy with the Mac overall I must say.

Nice site design by the way! Was that based on one of our PageKits?

Cheers,
Matt

Mac’s are kinda cool aren’t they…

I bought a Mac Mini last September, and I was not real pleased with the mouse action as well, and as I had a Logitech mouse I hooked that up… problem solved, very responsive, and quick as can be, and with nice touch as well, just what I was hoping for, actually seeming to work better than on my Windows XP.

Just thought to let you know of an alternative that worked for me.

Sincerely,

Steve
