You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I did and it didn't help. But I'll leave it powered down and try again this evening.

Try Add/Remove Hardware and reinstall the mouse drivers? It should be possible to do without actually using the mouse....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I just ordered a refurbished iBook! WOO! Thanks everybody for your advice and guidance!!! I'm sure I'll have many more questions when I actually get the thing.

Lisah! Woot!!!
Good lord. We're getting a Mac Mini here to replace a co-worker's PowerMac 7600 (yes, you read that right). We're not getting a monitor from Apple, because -- expensive -- and the purchasing manager just asked me "To be sure, I can order a regular monitor that will not need any device to hook up to the mac, right?"
All I need to tell her is that any new monitor will work with the Mini, right? I don't need to get into "DVI" and other terms that will just confuse her?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes. Although there is a resolution limit. And even though my 1600x1200 DVI LCD monitor falls within those limits it still doesn't display right on the Mini.
Any normal-sized monitor will work fine. If she's gonna used a big monitor, check the specs at apple.com.
The Mini has a DVI output, but it has an adapter for regular VGA.

Yeah, it'll be a normal-sized monitor, prolly a 19-inch CRT.

Huh. I remember when 19-inch was huge....

I don't like a monitor to be too big. It hurts my eyes!
