Mouse Pads No More?

it is getting soo annoying, my apple mouse im using is being used on a shiny desk and it just wont work, ive been after an apple mouse mat for 6 months now and last week i lost an auction on ebay to some guy that was paying up $150 for it, but its not worth that much for a mouse mat !! i still think that apple should give out mouse mats either when you visit the store or if they just come in the box. (would make it so much easier)

Re Mouse Mats I have just purchased my first i macG5 with wireless k/board and mouse on my glass top desk the mose is useless so am now using it on a piece of paper there must be a better way. I invite comments/suggestions

I think if you know anyone from Apple you can get more OS X mats than you'd know what to do with. My Apple business manager brought me a couple of dozen the last time he visited.

Im also using a jaguar mousepad from the release...i got 4 and theyre the best pads ive ever owned, ever. hands down. best. end of story.

i'm sitting here using my jaguar mouse pad they gave out at the launch event. So maybe give away is different from sell in apple store speak?

strange how that apple store employee had such arrogance when asked about mousepads. when Panther came out, they were actually giving away Panther mousepads to everyone who came in the store. i think i have two.

Not a hard sell? Please. Every time I walk in I'm prompted--heavily--to get a .Mac account. I was in there a month ago to get an iMac for my mom. They guy would not accept NO for an answer when he asked if I wanted .Mac. I literally had to demonstrate to him that I knew what the features were and that I had no use for them before he'd shut up. Same with ProCare and iWork. I'm in Florida, so at least they didn't push APP on me. :-/

What I am really looking for is an Apple flag for my flagpole. Right now I'm flying a Jolly Roger. Help anyone?

i can understand apple not selling mouse mats because none of their mice have a ball but i still need to use a mouse mat with my iMac as the desk it sits on is white
