Hi all, My Mighty Mouse fell apart last night. Well, that is, the little band that holds the top and bottom together fell off. I wasn't surprised because I'd prised it off several times over the last couple of years while cleaning out the scroll ball mechanism. Each time I put the mouse back together I'd put a few little dabs of superglue around the band... more »

	BT Home Hub v2
	I've just started using the BT Home Hub 2 that BT sent me a while back. It's working a lot better than the Home Hub 1 did. Much faster loading of Web pages, no tendency to `just refuse to let me see VersionTracker at all', and that sort of thing. Email's downloading faster - more the rate I'd expect from broadband,... more » By Rowland McDonnell - Oct 13 - 1 new of 1 message

No, it's not a serious musical tool, but it's great fun and very, well, relaxing. It kind of made me zone out in a way... more » By Ric - Oct 13 - 4 new of 4 messages

	Works outing
	I know there's a not-very-Mac Expo on the 24th at Olympia, and I'm sure sent off for a free ticket. Since which, bugger all. Has anybody received signs of life? By Peter Ceresole - Oct 13 - 2 new of 2 messages

	MacBook phutt
	Earlier today I put this MacBook Core2Duo 2GHz to sleep. It wouldn't wake, pressing the power button caused the screen to flash dimly and the optical drive make its noise, but it wouldn't start up. The battery was about half charged. It started fine with the mains adapter plugged in and I was using it all... more » By SM - Oct 13 - 3 new of 3 messages

	NewsTap
	Has anyone tried this yet? It is a Usenet client for the iPhone/iPod Touch by Alexander Clauss. Isn't he something to do with iCab? <[link]> By Chris Ridd - Oct 13 - 14 new of 14 messages
