Two Wireless Mouse options from Macally
Review
Macally’s rfMOUSE (rf) and rfMOUSEJR (rfJR) are two great wireless mice. The rf is an oversized mouse which fits nicely in your hand, while the rfJR is a smaller mouse (a little shorter than the standard Apple Mouse, but with more bulk) geared toward the laptop market, but perfectly usable on a desktop machine. Read the entire review here.

My uncle likes to use the phrase Keep it simple. Marware has done just that with the Stand for iPod Nano. Even the name is simple. In keeping with that theme, this review will be simple, also.

Iogear Wireless RF Keyboard / Optical Mouse
Review
A lot of products on the market state they are Mac compatible, but really aren’t. Sure, they might work on a Mac, but most of the functionality is Windows only. This is the case with the IOGEAR Wireless RF Keyboard/Optical Mouse. The IOGEAR website states that this set is Mac compatible from 10.2 on, but this set is really made for a Windows machine.

Macspiration 27 – The Download Drawer 4 – Old School Arcade
I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s when the arcade was the place to go to play the latest and greatest arcade games. We had PacMan, Frogger, Ms. PacMan, etc. If you’re like me, you still like those games better some of the 100 button games you can play on today’s consoles. Well, you don’t need an arcade or a console to play some of these classics. You only need your Mac and the Internet.

While I don’t have one, there are many websites which one might consider a daily Mac newsletter. I listed a few sites for the emailer to check out, and I thought it might be a good idea to write an article with a list of sites for other Mac users.
