John, that doesn't sound like a bad choice to me; I do a lot of coding so I prefer to touch type and use the touch pad on my MBP whenever keys don't do the biz, subsequently avoiding the mouse. A Mighty Mouse would be fine but I've had the MX1000 since before I bought a Mac (I'm in the same position as you, can't justify the expense on a mouse at the moment), but I do like the zillion buttons on it (Expose, tab through apps, show desktop, Return, forward/back through browers, etc).

I'm just waiting for the Mac 'Airboard', a wireless keyboard with a touch pad built in (think MBP but without the screen).

I use the mighty mouse. Yes, yes, yes I know, but I like it and I'm short on cash and haven't justified buying a new mouse yet.

Maybe I'll upgrade soon!

Ooh thanks for the MX Revoution tip-off; my 'MX1000' has been refusing to drag things (i.e. it seems the left mouse button can no longer sustain/hold clicks). I'm very nearly fed-up with accidental attempts at opening Fireworks PNGs in iCal…

John, what mouse do you use?
