    I don't have a spare one m8 :/

    Expensive little buggers. Cheapest wired one I found is from Amazon

    Amazon.co.uk: Apple Mighty Mouse (USB): Electronics & Photo

    Ignore the 3 star rating. I think they are great.

    I had a mac but didnt get on with it. Not sure which model exactly.

    Pretty much like this;

    http://mac.smirnov.la/G4.jpg

    So may be what your after, strip it, use it etc etc - I think i put it away in the shed to save for another day, dont remember binning it but this was a year or so ago.

    If its still there, your welcome to it, will check when i get home.

    Because it didnt work like windows

    Tbh it was more of a muck around opposed to actually trying to use it.

    I found myself using it and finding similar apps to windows in effect running windows on a mac.

    So might as well cut out the middle man and use a PC

    freddy, you got any spare G4 parts lying around???

    i have to manually short out 2 of the pins to power on machine, as it has some sort of gay board mounted to front of chassis to control LEDS and buttons???

    i need that board with the power button, reset and LEDS on. should be connected via a 10 pin ribbon cable!?
