power, the light on the bottom of the mouse will not
come on letting you know they need replacement.
Installation
Installation of the mouse is very simple.
1) Install the 2 AA batteries
2) Install CD software drivers
3) Restart computer
4) Program buttons in System Preferences and
go to Keyboard & Mouse
5) Mouse is operational
The included CD drivers requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or
later. Apple asks you not to install the CD if you are
using a Mac earlier than 10.4.6. If you have one of
the earlier Mac OS X versions, presumably you can
use the mouse, but not have all of the programming
options.
Conclusion
If you are using the Magic Mouse just to scroll the
Internet or a document, it is perfectly suited for
those tasks. However, if you are using this mouse for
anything more specic, forget it. The buttons them-
selves are not programmable for macro keystrokes,
for example. Both Logitech and Microsoft feature a
great variety of options that you can use to program
your mouse, but not Apple.
Apple has created one of the most ergonomic mice
on the market. If you want a mouse that looks “cool”
get the Magic Mouse, but if you want one that oers
more options, look elsewhere.
REVIEW: Nikon D3000 D-SLR Camera
By Irv Haas
The Review Guru
I
f you own a point-and-shoot digital camera,
you probably nd it very convenient to nd that
its small size makes it very easy to carry in your
pocket or purse. Better current resolution and
features make this kind of camera very attractive for
most buyers.
However, if you own a point-and-shoot camera, you
are probably aware of its shortcomings. The primary
problem is what is termed Shutter Lag. This is when
you press the shutter and it takes a few seconds for it
to actually take the picture. Shooting action pictures
can be a problem with shutter lag.
The second major problem centers on focusing is-
sues. Due to the narrow size of these cameras, focus-
ing can be more dicult. How many times have you
taken a shot that looked perfectly focused on the
LCD screen, yet when you imported it into your Mac,
it looked somewhat fuzzy?
If these issues are serious problems you may want to
consider a D-SLR (Digital Single Lens Reex) camera.
These cameras use a mirror device that lets you see
your image exactly as the lens sees it. This eliminates
the shutter lag problem as well as focusing issues.
With Nikon’s introduction of the D40, D40X and
D60 models, they came up with a small body that
is slightly larger than many point-and-shoot cam-
eras. They used this same size for their newer D3000
model just introduced in September.
Let’s compare these 4 models:
