What people seem to be forgetting is that on the plus & earlier models, the mouse plugs into the back & has a long cord. The pluses mouse can be placed on either side of the plus simply by draping the cord to either side of the Mac. The pre-plus keyboard went even farther & allowed you to put the numaric keypad on either side of the alpha keyboard. While on the subject of mice, I for one prefer the Plus & earlier mouse to the SE & later design. It seems to fit my hand better & I do not grip it as tight. Course now, could be that I like it because I have been using that style mouse now for 5 years & the other style just when I borrow a newer Mac. This will probably blow what image I have, but, anyone know of a joy stick that will fit pre SE Macs? TeriAnn {The mailer to my UNIX beastie is broken}
