I figured it was relevant to the topic in light of Apple's blatant lying on their ads and it does fit into his decision to buy a Mac if he's a gamer. Who cares if it's been posted already and what difference does it make that you need to point it out?

benthebear Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Anyone know of a company that makes two button, scroll mice that look like the standard Apple mouse? http://www.dumpcomputers.com/crysneonopmo.html They have a few colors there. It looks like a one button mouse, but if you press the left side down, you get a left click and when you press the right side down, you get a right click. I had one of these mice and it was pretty and it glowed blue and everything...until I dropped it and it doesn't work anymore :( poo Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/38324-the-switch-would-you-recommend-it/page/4/#findComment-393439 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted July 22, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 22, 2002 Originally posted by Cowpie Just a quick question, has anyone tried running windows via the lil virtual pc thingy? Does it run smooth? Satisfactory, no more. I run windows 98 on VPC simply for converting the psd of my Mac icons into XP icons. Running 2k is better apart from the boot time, XP is a dog. I suppose turning off the themes and stuff would make a slight difference but not that much. Put it this way, I would only use it if forced to, not by choice.

kryptonik Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Originally posted by persianpsycho i wish i could install os x on my pc... Don't we all....Well, i think Macs are amazing machines, but i seriously have no money. If i ever do get a Mac(which i hope i do) i'll also have a pc along side, or maybe not. It all depends if i'm still a gamer....
