Mighty Mouse

mightMouse

Been hatin’ on it for years now, and it turns out one of my primary reasons for disliking it was totally wrong. It has a right mouse click!

The funny thing is the way I found it out. I was fixing up an old iMac (DiskWarrior on an failing hdd) for a friend and grabbed an old keyboard and disused Mighty Mouse for the operation. During the operation, I found myself right clicking naturally and unconsciously.

However, it wasn’t until I was done with the operation and was putting away the keyboard and mouse, that I noticed that I was successfully right clicking.

Marginalization, Minimzation, & WorkArounds

Windows – Marginalize : You have to have at least one machine with it on it, cause you have to use it. That said, you don’t have to care about it. The windows install on my Dell desktop has nothing of value on it. Everything of importance is on a Mac backed up via TimeMachine.

Bank of America – Minimize : In this modern world, you need convenient access to an ATM. Bank of America has the most ATMs, but they have just about the worst terms and interest rates. Thus the work around is to, split the direct deposit paycheck between them and an online bank that has a decent return, piping just enough cash to Bank of America to not trigger any fees.

ATT – Minimize : Skype and email

Time Warner – Minimize : Bounce between DSL and EarthLink.

Cable TV – Marginalize: Hulu

Hulu on the PS3 – WorkAround: Squid
