I use Apples mice for normal use... and the driver doesn't allow for max mouse speed... I use the fastest setting USBO has.<br><br>And a company can make great mice and very crappy drivers...<br><br>USBO is great.<br><br>And yes, how could I forget, ResEdit... my personal all time favourite application :)<br> <br><br>

Loc: the ancient forests of MiddleE...
do you remember which software you had incompatabilities with Be Heirachic? as well it would be good to know and may help me understand things...better<br><br>oh and for those who love ResEdit.. Resorcerer does do things better when you use it a bit.<br>although the ResEdit and Vanishing Cream combo has done so much for me.. and like an old coat... can't leave it in the closet. <br><br>..

i think logitech mice are just as good as the microsoft ones (i had a logitech optical wheel mouse for a while), but the drivers are sucky and the wheel wouldnt work with certain programs and would do all sorts of weird things. with USBOverdrive it was all better. <br><br>

You're probably right, John, but on the other hand I have the Logitech mouse and although its drivers are abysmal, with Overdrive the mouse works very nicely. Logitech doesn't have X drivers either, by the way.<br><br>And that's true too/--Shakespeare, King Lear

TreeBeard.... It was years ago, under System 8.0 or maybe even 7.x<br><br>I couldn't begin to remember... I just haven't looked back since.... (also, I like to run as "clean" as system as I can, so the move was more aligned with my preference of having as few Control Panels as possible)<br><br>thanks for the offer to help though ;)<br><br>John<br><br>***<br>"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." <br> -- Ecclesiastes 10:2

yoyo... hence, bad drivers mean that I won't bu the mouse... why sell something when you're telling your customers that you're not committed to making their lives better... Better yet, why should I buy Logitech's products when they have products on the shelf that aren't fully supported...<br><br>At least M$'s MBU does a good job of supporting and trying to fix their software issues and making their software work well... (I love Entourage, IE, Office, and yes, even Age of Empires was a great game on the Mac)<br><br>hehe... let's not make this a MS thread... sorry to start to do that.<br><br>On the same note, my Brother MFC (printer, fax, scanner, copier) has terrible drivers, and thus I'll never buy another Brother printer again... <br><br><br><br>***<br>"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." <br> -- Ecclesiastes 10:2

Oh I'm not denying you're right, just saying that I've got the Logitech mouse and need to be able to use it. I'm not dead against M$, by the way, although they are, of course, evil <br><br>And that's true too/--Shakespeare, King Lear

And of course everyone should know that the MS IntelliMouse control panel was written by none other than Alessandro Levi (USBO)...<br><br>

Hm... I like Super ResEdit sooo much more than ResEdit... maybe cause I've been using ResEdit for so long, but I just really dislike Resourcer...<br><br>Cipher13<br><br>
