O.K., now that the optical vs. mechanical debate has raged again,
perhaps it's time for a new solution. What if Apple made you buy the
mouse separately? Remember the time when the keyboard was part of the
mac you bought? No longer because, after all, people may want
different keyboards. I know, I know, Apple only offers one
mouse/machine configuration so they should include it. Wouldn't want
you to go out any buy that nasty 3-party stuff, would we? Like
3rd-party keyboards?
Maybe if Apple came out with an optical mouse and offered it as an
option, everyone would be happy (for a couple of nanoseconds anyway).
