Mighty Mouse Messes with Kids Minds
As much as I enjoy Apple’s new Mighty Mouse, I will state unequivocally that it should not be foisted upon people of less than eight years of age. I have seen first hand the havoc that cute little scroll button and those squeezable sides can wreak. Helping a class of 1st graders try to navigate KidPix with those things was enough to make me pass out with exhaustion. (They scream every time the dashboard pops up, they think they broke the computer.)
I’ve had to move them all into the upper grades, and replace the lab ones with cheap old dual-click jobbers.
Hmm, I wonder if Apple had to pay to use that name.
