That's like 500 years in any other industry. That mouse looks pretty badass though. I'd get one in a heartbeat if I had a Mac. You're already buying the most expensive computer (with no expandability) out there. Why not drop $20-$25 more on a 2-button mouse than all those Gatesians out there?</p> Dang I’m a day behind in my tech news. That’s like 500 years in any other industry.
