New Mighty Mouse Coming? From Lez in New Zealand

Hi Will,

This is interesting. I've been trying to order a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse through a local retailer but he's had trouble getting it supplied. Eventually he got this reply from Apple here in New Zealand:

"I have found out the delay is because they are putting out a new model of the mouse.
There is no ETA on it at the moment as they are awaiting the arrival of the new model."

I wonder if Apple are having problems with this mouse. Put the Fez down and get your sleuthing hat on mate.

Cheers,
Les
Story teller from British Mac

Thanks Will

I think it's the Storytellers at the Edge that do the ghost talks.  Most of my supernatural tales are of the Breton variety (shameless plug, Arena Theatre, Wolves, December 7th, nearest local one), although I do a few from the other Celtic nations from time to time.

Hope all's well.

Best,

John

Two silent Mac Mini's from Ian Rycroft

Hi Will,

I wonder if you could ask your listeners a question to save what is already a balding head from losing even more hair in frustration!

I have just put myself in debt to get two (yes two) mac mini's for my daughters. They are the new core duo 1.66GHz Intel processor. The problem is there is no sound at all from both of them.

The Output section of Sound in Systems says "No output devices found." I have restarted the Mini several times, done a Pram reset, dumped the sound and system prefs (it's ok I know what I'm doing), but this has no effect. No sound on startup or thereafter. Internal speaker in the Mini is silent and seems not to be visible to the system.

I have checked out a few forums and it would appear I am not the only one to suffer this problem. It must be a known issue as it is on both the Mac mini's. I will be contacting Apple if I can't solve it but I wondered if one of your learned listeners might be able to help first?

As I mentioned above I know quite a bit about Macs as it is part of my job to keep them running at work but this has me baffled.

Great show as always Will.

Coverflow still available, from Brendan.
You said you wished Apple had Coverflow as a stand alone app. You'll be please to know, that the app. Coverflow that apple bought, is still available here. :)
