Hey all, is anyone using the new wireless MS mouse with their machines? My set up is basically a FP iMac, a Pismo, and an AirPort. Both machines access the net via the AirPort. The question I have is that the mouse is RF based but I can't seem to find out what frequency range the mouse operates in. Between my cell phone, cordless, AirPort, and mouse is there going to be too much going on in the house?

Thanks!!!

If you're speaking of the Microsoft Explorer Intelimouse (the black and gray one), I'm also interested if it will have any interference with Airport.

I saw it at CompUSA yesterday and it feels really comfortable in the hand.

I get no interference from my gear with a microwave, AirPort, and cordless phone in the area. My cell phone will disrupt the signal if I'm talking to someone and place it within 4 inches of the mouse receiver. Otherwise, no problems at all, the Wireless Intellimouse Explorer works great, and the battery life is much better than my Logetech Cordless MOuseman Optical.
