Jon, sorry to have beaten you to it. I was afraid this thread would pass without some kind of comment from someone. I wish you had done it anyway as your forum writing is much more eloquent than mine.
Bob, you are right, that is some mouse. I have only seen one real life in the flesh Aussie and he carried a laptop like the mouse has.
He called it a Mac or something. Is this an Aussie trait? It differs from the British Mac as it wont repel rain. His name was Keith somethingorother.
Cheers,
Barry
