What wired 2-button mouse do you recommend to replace Mighty Mouse?

I’m looking for a wired 2-button mouse to replace the wired Mighty Mouse I got with my new 20” iMac purchased a year ago. I will appreciate any recommendations for a comfortable trouble-free mouse. Before I switched from a Windows machine to the iMac I used a Logitech MouseMan Wheel that was not only reliable but very comfortable to use. I’d like to find something comparable for use with the iMac.

Wow, that was fast. I can't find the button to click on for "helpful" for your post. Where did the button go? It did work on some earlier posts from you, but not all. Anyway, it begins to feel like we're almost out of the woods!
So a broadband router it is. I have zero motivation to try routing between IP subnets, happily.
Nice to have affirmation of the RV0041. It seemed to be the highest level before jumping all the way to Cisco. Yeah, the Telenet firewall configuration requirement on the Zywall 5 was something to choke on. Oh—I did find one review on it. The writer, an IT tech, emphasized in all capitals that a user has to have extensive knowledge of configuring these things BEFORE getting a Zywall. So the Zywall seems to also fit squarely into the IT pro department. On the RV0041, I thought the Gigabit switch feature was very fine.
Actually I have the software firewall "NetBarrier" installed already. Kind of sounds as if a lot of the functions of a network appliance are largely duplicated by NetBarrier. It's given me alerts in real time for attempted port scanning, for example. I do want fast page loading, so the performance lag using a network security device seems like a marked disadvantage.
Would a combination of NetBarrier and the RV0041 largely provide equivalent protection compared to a network security device? I'm willing to live with less protection to an extent to avoid slowing things down.
Once again, many thanks indeed

What wired keyboard with trackpad do you recommend?

My wife would like to put her MB Pro on a stand and attach a wired keyboard with built-in trackpad. She wants WIRED, not wireless. Has anyone used a non-Apple keyboard like this that they recommend? I am thinking the key arrangement might be tricky.

There are no keyboards on the market that have built-in trackpads with the capabilities of the MBP's built-in trackpad.
Why does your wife want a wired keyboard? Has she ever used an Apple wireless one?
I recomend the Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Trackpad without reservation or qualification. I've been using mine for a year now with my late-2008 unibody MBP, and haven't had a bit of trouble with them at any time. The Magic Trackpad works exactly the same as the built-in trackpad, so that when I pick up my machine to use away from my office, I don't have any adjustment to make. And the wireless keyboard has exactly the same feel as the MBP's, so there's no adjustment to make there either.
Your wife should really try these things out.

I believe Samsung does well on these boards, I say go for it. Just return it quickly if it doesn't work out, you have 10 days.

What is the best set up you recommend ?

Hi guys, I had a quick question, I want to know the best set up you recommend. I attend a small church and they have four wireless mic and one mic that is not wireless, majority of the time they just use the one mic that has a cord. They want me to help them upgrade their audio system, they currently have a 6 channel amp and some great sounding speakers. I was going to suggest they get a imac and we run garage band and either use their current amp or get a new inexpensive mixing board, with their current amp or the mixing board I know we will need some type of 3.5mm adapter to plug it into the computer. We would like to record the church sermons as well as load all the church music that are on CD's into the mac and make play list and play those from i-tunes. What do you guys suggest ? I am very familiar with mac and I do a lot of video with FCP and motion, but not much with Audio, I do know soundtrack pro, would that be better to use ? I would like a setup where we can do as much as possible from the computer like open and close mics and adjust mic levels, if not then I can do that from the amp or mixing board with no problem, thanks

What you appear to be describing is sending a stereo track to GB on a Mac using the Mac's built-in input.
There are three issues I see with your system.
One you are limiting it to a stereo track. Using the Mac's built-in input with a 3.5mm plug. And have no way to control individual mic levels from the Mac.
However, you could have the possibility of recording multiple tracks, individual level control and ability to mix those tracks inside of GB or another DAW and a much better sounding recording by adding an audio interface to your setup. Which I believe is the missing ingredient to reach you goals.
Something like a Presonus interface with 8 mic pre's should work fine.
So you would run all church mic's into the interface and record inside of GB and run the analog output from the interface into the amp. Amp to speakers.
However, although I wouldn't have a problem with that setup...you are relying on hard drives and software and a human running it...so there is a dependability factor to consider comparatively.
You may be fine just getting a 2 track digital recorder hooked up to the output of the mic preamp you already have. And transporting that to the Mac later....?
Dunno what you needs are exactly so I can't say....

Whats a good mouse for mac other then a mighty mouse?

cause i've been though afew mighty mouses and i'm kinda getting tired of them breaking no matter what I do I can't get it to scroll up or to scroll left.
and i've tried cleaning it didn't work so just going to get another mouse for it.
what is a good alternative mouse for mac.
around 50-75$?
thats the only problem i've had out of apple is the mice they sell aren't as good as everything else they sell.

Hi,
Apple mice have always been awful; I only ever liked the +ADB Mouse II+.
I'm very happy with my Microsoft Intellimouse Optical six years on. The five buttons work really well with Dashboard, Exposé (and Spaces) and worked just as well back in OS9. The cable is also a decent length. I've also got a wireless version (1000) in grey/white with just three buttons, although the transceiver is quite chunky.
Here's a five button Bluetooth version (link) that I've got my eye on at the moment.
cheers

What is the latest version where you can use replace tabs?

I will only use a firefox version that has a replacetabs add-on option - which is the most updated version that can utilize this function?

What do you mean with replace tabs option?
Do you want to open links in the current tab instead of in a new tab or window?
You can look at these extensions:
*Tabberwocky: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/14439
*Tab Utilities Lite: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/62581

What Bluetooth mouse would you recommend for machines running Snow Leopard

I'm looking for one and I'd like to hear suggestions from people.

As far as ergonomics are concerned, it's pretty subjective. It depends on the size of your hand and the position your prefer to hold the mouse in use.
For me, the Magic Mouse is not ergonomically weak at all. I find it very comfortable, just the right weight for pushing around a mouse mat, and the touch surface / buttons work very well.
Best thing to do is visit an Apple Store and try one out for as long as possible, and make up your own mind.
Almost 30% of Mac users in the MacWorld poll below use a Magic Mouse, so it's found a lot of users in a small amount of time.

My kid likes to play video games that require a right click. What mouse would you recommend?

What mouse is best for video gaming? My son likes to play shootemup games where he has to rearrange troops and shoot aliens. The games, while ok for a mac, are best with a right click as well as left click. All I have on the MacBook Pro is a trackpad. He could get a mouse, but which one?

What team-based development tool can you recommend?

Our team works on a Windows 2000 platform and an Oracle 8i database. Can anyone recommend a good team-based development tool that we can use with our JDeveloper? What about tools like webDAV, Rational ClearCase? Are they easy to use and easy to deploy? What else is out there that already works for you?
Thanks.

What cloud back up services do you recommend for our new Mac?

What cloud back up services work best with an iMac?

Without a good first and second or third backup plan or regimen in place,
before cloud backup, you still could lose most functional computer use.
The internet cloud is OK if you can access it, quickly & efficiently.
If you can count on that, then you are among a minority worldwide.
•Back up Mac Hard drive...
https://www.apple.com/support/backup/
While the basics nearby are good, the off-site copy or cloud is a plus
if you travel to & from an office, or several locations and need access
to information, while knowing the primary devices and the media are
also backed up in triplicate, across different media & devices.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4908
A quality externally enclosed hard disk drive setup for use with a
full system clone, to boot & run a Mac from a copy, is a fine idea.
{carbon copy cloner - bombich software? one of the better bets}
So far, in my several years experience with computers, I'd rather have
access to the backup hardware devices and perform manual ones, too
than rely on some remote servers, over thousands of miles of distance.
Helps to also have a backup computer, a duplicate to run the clone, etc.
Perhaps someone will recommend one of the advertised carbonite or
other brands, however I fail to be impressed by gadgets & gimmicks...
Though some may be fun, I don't have time for fun or wasted expense.
Some other users who contribute here may have fast internet access
of a reliable nature, and have committed a larger portion of their digital
live's work to the 'cloud' but from my experience, clouds are weather.
You can dress for it, marginally predict it; & find a dry/warm place to wait.
Good luck & happy computing!

What "ToDo" application (with "folders") do you recommend?

I am an experienced user of the Communicator 9500 Phone from Nokia.
It looks somewhat clumsy but it is highly efficient to use for business.
The Agenda application is especially well designed. It includes a "ToDo" section, which can be subdivided in Main Topics, kind of folders. Eg "home", "Work", "Car", "Holidays". In one view you can visualise many items related to your car, or to your Work Project 1, Your holidays, and so on. And it is fully integrated into the Calendar app.
I am now the proud and confused owner of an IPhone 4 but the apps provided with the phone are for the casual user, managing a couple of events per week, and not for someone managing a couple of hundred todo reminders spread over 12 main topics. I am so not convinced by the Agenda that I only use the IPhone to...phone and continue to use the Nokia for "serious" purposes.
Obviously I cannot continue to do this.
What application should I seek to manage these todos?
What Agenda application should I seek, in replacement of Apple's Agenda, to manage these ToDos WITHIN the agenda?
Your advice would be appreciated.
Patrick

OmniFocus is probably the most heavy-duty to-do app out there, with iphone, ipad, and mac clients, and good support for different folders/contexts. Warning: pricing and ease-of-use are commensurate with the heavy-duty. Free trial on the mac.

What kind of page transitions do you recommend

appreciate some input from the pros..
site looks dead, what page transitions do you think would
work?

90 percent of those who didn't answer was hoping someone else
would answer because they probably was having the same problem,
rather than ask or because you asked they thought they might get
the answer from your thread. Don't be discouraged, I have had one
of my questions totally ignored. Never answered but there are some
that were and it was very helpful.

Mighty Mouse (wired) Button Config in Vista

Is there a comparable configuration application in Vista for configuring button actions on the mighty mouse? The windows control panel sees the mighty mouse but does not allow it to configure the side buttons or change the default action of the scroll ball. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

It isn't likely that there is an alternative available for the Mighty Mouse in Vista. This is because the buttons on the Mighty Mouse are optimized for use in Mac OS X, not Windows. The drivers and stuff that allow the Mighty Mouse to work in Windows are not the same as in OS X, and lack the driver support for the special buttons. I would recommend buying a "Certified for Vista" mouse if you want special features like that in Vista. If you're using Boot Camp on a Mac, I would recommend having a Mighty Mouse for Mac OS X and a Vista Certified mouse from Microsoft or Logitech for Vista.
