I had a go with one in the Apple Store, London Regents St, and that place was a total nightmare – but that’s another story. The Mighty Mouse is not just a mouse, it’s a trackpad as well. So that means you can stroke the top of the mouse and perform scrolling operations, instead of a wheel or having to click on scroll bars at the edge of windows.

To get the most out of it, I needed to install Snow Leopard or Max OS X – 10.6.4 which took nearly 45 minutes and hasn’t seemed to have dome much so far except for install a new version of QuickTime (X) which doesn’t do copy and paste. Ok the answer to that one is that they ship Quicktime 7 pro with it, so now I have two versions of quicktime on my dock…

I’ll let you know how I get on with the new mouse and Mac OS later.

The sound equipment, lighting, management, logistics, finance and marketing are all heavily relient upon ICTs. So next time you’re enjoying London theatre breaks be aware that none of it would be possible without our little silicon friends.
