I’m Turning Lily Into An Apple Fan Girl
Lily’s not even a year old yet and she already has her own Mighty Mouse and has come to love any Apple product I set in front of her. I’m pretty sure she’s already an Apple fan girl.
Lily and her Mighty Mouse.
It all started with the Mighty Mouse. She wanted something to play with and I had a mouse that was in need of new life. It was broken so I cleaned out the insides, removed the cord, washed it down, and gave it to Lily. It’s her very first Apple product.

One Week With My Microsoft 5000 Mouse
When my Mighty Mouse stopped scrolling down, I was sad. When I broke it trying to clean it, I was depressed. But now I have a Microsoft Wireless 5000 Laser mouse and I’m pretty happy once again.
I’ve never been a Microsoft Fan. I refuse to install Word or Excel on my iMac and, come to think of it, the I don’t have anything Microsoft installed. That was until I installed the Microsoft Mouse driver.
The Microsoft 5000 mouse is wireless, has five configurable buttons and a very nice scroll wheel that goes vertical and horizontal. For only $2, this thing rocks! That’s right, $2 on eBay.
Goodbye Mighty Mouse
I had complained that my Apple Mighty Mouse could no longer scroll down and now it’s dead.
I had taken it to the Apple store in hopes they’d help. Instead they sent me to YouTube to watch a video on how to clean the Mighty Mouse. Well, I tried to open the mouse and ended up killing it instead. 
The good news is I just got a new mouse on Ebay for $2 and I hope it’ll be nice.
It’s a Microsoft wireless laster 5000 mouse. Everyone says how good Microsoft mice are, so now I just have to wait for mine to arrive.
It may be time for a new mouse, what do you suggest?
My Mighty Mouse is again refusing to scroll down. It happens every now and then when it gets dirty from over use. I have cleaned it a time or two in the past and it worked fine. But now I can’t get it clean enough to scroll down and that’s really bugging me. I’ve gone back to my old Kensington mouse that’s working pretty good, but lacks additional, programmable buttons. 
In the past I’ve tried out a few cordless mice and have reverted back to corded every time. I’m not sure why, but I guess my preference isn’t one way or the other.
