I can live with the keyboard--now that it has feet--but the mouse drives me
nuts. I am used to a Macintosh mouse and have used several other mice; What I
like about all of them is that they have a place to rest my fingers; The NeXT
mouse does not. Until I physically restrained the right mouse button--the right
button is now my finger "dock"--I was constantly miss-clicking. All I have to
worry about now is the left buttonUs sensitivity.... 

To restrain a mouse button, take a 2 inch paper clip and, after straightening
it out, bend it so that it fits within the grove along the side of the mouse.
