Thank goodness you didn't say Bento or Filemaker.

Bento doesn't appeal to me at all, but I did acquire a copy of Filemaker Pro 10. I haven't really spent much time on it yet though.

I'm shocked at how much I like it. Love the keyboard and Adium. Hate the mouse.

Just picked up an Apple Magic Mouse. Very cool stuff. A tad pricey for a two button mouse (well, zero buttons I guess) but the 360 scrolling is awesome for Photoshop and Omnigraffle stuff. Plus it's just plain cool.

I like it too. I thought the scroll ball on the mighty mouse was great, until it repeatedly gunked up. This solves that issue.

They need to implement momentum based scrolling on the Macbook trackpads now to match the functionality of the mouse. It's jarring going from one to the other for scrolling.

How does the low profile of the mouse fit your hand? In the store it felt too thin to me.

If you rest the palm of your hand on the mouse this will likely take some getting used to. I've always gripped the mouse with my thumb and pinky with my hand raised off the mouse so the Magic Mouse worked just fine.
