Okay, I'm looking for people to help me show Apple what we really think about this one-button wireless mouse.

The plan is this, to establish a website dedicated to the destruction of a one-button mouse. The website will display a manifesto drafted by the people that contribute to this cause. The manifesto will be accompanied by video clips and still photographs of the mouse being destroyed, along with a list of the name of the people that made this possible.

The contributors will help to decide how the mouse will meet its' death. I hope to start with some mildly destructive acts using things like fire, and then finish it off by perhaps running it over with my Ford Expedition.

So what do you say, can I get any help with this? I could use a creative type for the web page - something simple, doesn't need to be too fancy. I do web programming, so I can do any behind the scenes stuff.

I will accept donations via. PayPal for up to $150 (TOTAL). Once the fund reaches $150, I will have to reject additional contributions. This is not for profit! We'll use the first ~$70 for the mouse itself, and the balance to cover any bandwidth charges I incur from streaming the video clips and what not. Your donation will get you credit on the home page, allow you to assist in drafting the manifesto, and give you the opportunity to help brainstorm how the mouse is destroyed.

If anybody has access to a very high building, and can arrange to drop a mouse out a window (without killing somebody in the process and/or getting sued) I'd love to hear from you.

Give me two buttons, or give me death! One button is not enough. Using the keyboard is NOT easier than clicking a second button. Scroll wheels are great! Join me!!!

Send me a private message for details.

Definitely a good idea,

I say, PM me when you get close to the $150 fund, I donate the rest.

It’s a great idea, right now, I’m strap for cash, just bought a home theatre system, and can't even afford a new mouse!!!

But, when I can afford the great logic-tech, I’ll easily donate some $$$ plus my Apple *Pro Mouse.

I suggest putting the plastic mouse in the Oven at moderate temperatures, and see it melt.

I’ve done it too many other clear plastic before.

I was going to do this anywayz and Air-Mail it to APPLE.
