Heh. They probably needed a 2-button mouse.

But what is that mouse anyway? Most of the MS mice look much better than that one, and no mouse pad is usually needed (optical).

I believe that MacBU is in Mountain View.

Methinks it's this one (in black) - butt-ugly, and it's got a wire hanging out of its behind - that is so last millenium.

A black mouse on top of a blue mousepad hooked up to a white iMac ... at an expo ... I guess Microsoft simply can't stop being Microsoft. They've always had a soft spot for, uhm "surprising" color combinations.

I meant Redmond = M$ not the specific locale. The checks may be cashed in MV but they come from Reddie.

I bet they weren't happy...

Regarding that display, the first thing that came to mind was... "what an ugly mouse and mouse pad"

You have something as beautiful as the iMac G5 and dump a crap $19 mouse on it and a give away mouse pad.

ugh...

I use the white version of that mouse my iMac G5. It's a lot better to me than the one that Apple shipped with the unit.
