Gooday people,

I would just like to know, if anyone thinks that the Keyboard cord on every PowerMac, is TOO short! I like to free up space on my desk, but I cant cause if I put the tower under my desk, I would have to sit on the floor just so that I could type, and the keys are to slippery.

I also think that it is about time another mouse button should be introduced. Playing games that require two mouse buttons is a pain, and having to press alt then click is impossible in the middle of fast games.

I like the look of the apple mouse, very Cool, but I think it’s about time that convenience should be more importance than looks.
than looks.

Hmm, didn't you get a usb extension cord with your PowerMac? Anyways I did, but don't use it, if you didn't live in Aussie i'd send it to you. The two button mouse thing has often been debated here in the forums, I personally prefer a two or multi button as well, but others have made the point that there is a simplicity with a one button. Certainly many have become very comfortable with the one button. There was a poll not too long back I was surprised to see that it was about 50/50 for and against. I am very happy with my logitech cordless optical if your looking. Convenience is relative. As far as the keyboard, I personally like it, but some don't like the tactile fed back of it, slippery is a new one on me. I really appreciate the weight of the keyboard, there is noting worst that typing on something that's trying to get away from you.

Thanks,for the advise,
im not a comp expert, and i didn't know you can actually buy a USB extension cable. I didn't get one when i bought my Mac.

Funny, i think of buying a USB hub, just so that i could extend it about 50cm, i think that's around 25inches.

My new signiture at the end should be, Lets all convert to the metric system. I'll save NASA millions. lol
