        You're not the only one who thinks the hockey puck is NFG: Jim Louderback,
editorial director of ZDTV writes just this morning at
 <http://www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/story/story_4065.html>:

The eOne also has a see-through keyboard that's just about as good as the
iMac (not very). It's not a USB keyboard; you get PS-2 style mouse and
keyboard ports. A plus: The mouse is much better than the iMac mouse, which
I consider the worst mouse ever. Click
<http://www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/story/story_4044.html> for more. It's also
blue and see- through, but more normal shaped. The mouse connects up to
either the keyboard or the PS-2 port

        So don't feel so bad after all: You're not alone in your displeasure over
the Apple KB & mouse!

        Cheers!
        Dan
