I use a Logitech mobile mouse and a wired alu Mac keboard. Seems a shame they bothered to bundle them with the iMac, and I'll ebay them when I get round to it. > As always, lotsa tweaking to come... I don't have a great deal to do. iStat provides enough nerdy input. You think it's quick now, you should try it with an SSD disk. Rob

I'm doing a bit better with the Magic version, it's just not as good as the Logitech mechanical one I had before. At least, that's my belief. -- Peter |
