The one that came with my iMac is the best mouse I've ever had. The learning cure was painless (as with all Mac stuff) and it "just works". Of course, I don't require any special work, and sometimes tend to use keyboard commands more than the mouse. <GRIN>

Hugs for the trudge.

I also have one and love it. I use the mini trackball on both axis all the

Seems a bit larger than the one on my Curve, actually..

I use a microfiber dust cloth to wind cat
hair out of it, and from time to time, alcohol on a clean paper napkin is
used to loosen up other crud that will find its way inside.

Yeah, that's the downside. It's an optical mouse, but you've just traded the traditional mouseball for the trackball, which is if anything more easily clogged (though less exposed to dust etc). It also took some getting used to the lack of a tactile division between buttons one and two - for a while I would consistently left-click when I meant to right-click.
