You can get a 5-pack of the MS Wheel Mouse Optical, which I use on my Macs, from CDW for $65. Which is the better deal?
Apple refuses to put a long enough cord on their mice also, because their keyboards have USB ports on them. However, this is incredibly inconvenient in a lot of situations.
Just thought I'd continue the hoopla.

How you can improve this specific article:
"I expected to be told where I should move my iMac G5 to, but it only told me how to pick it up. I had difficulties discovering where to grasp the iMac, nor where to put the cables once unplugged. I'm afraid these actions have caused me to permanently damage my G5, because once picked up, I couldn't decide where to put it down, so I rested it on my balcony railing on the 8th floor of my appartment building. A sudden gust of wind sent it all the way down. Luckily nobody was injured. I've gathered all the pieces together, but it doesn't work anymore. I reccon this has something to do with the cables being unplugged."
