Good luck with your new mouse. Any particular reason you ignored my last post? -- iMac (27", 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD) � OS X (10.6.3)

That is about Apple equipment and does not say anything (except one thing) that is not in the help files on the SL OS or the instructions in the leaflet. The one thing it says is that some third party devices might not wake the Mac from sleep. Would you be so kind as to say how you set yours up from the box, if you can recall? Does yours wake the Macbook from sleep? Are you on SL (Snow...) OS? It is such a nice looking and feeling mouse, hope I can get it to work (otherwise perhaps a USB wireless one is more reliable?) -- dorayme

My (admittedly vague) recollection is that I purchased my mouse about two and a half years ago when I was running Tiger, and I have no remembrance of experiencing any difficulty in getting the mouse to work wirelessly. I am one that upgrades the operating system as soon as an upgrade is available. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

I am taking the mouse back to shop (thank goodness there is a shop in this case), they may test it and get another or I buy another type, usb or whatever. Next time I take my laptop with me! -- dorayme |
