Not creepy at all. They leave you alone unless you look lost, then they ask if they can help with anything. If you tell them no they leave you alone again.

Had a play with one today at the Apple store. Quite impressed with it - it benefits from the extra space and some of the gestures seem easier to pull off. It's a good product if you want a trackpad for your desktop, but I'd rather a mouse.
The suggestion that Windows 7 was my idea is defamatory...you can't pin that on me.

My mate got one and he's just offered me his Magic Mouse for less than half price. (8+)

So let me guess you snapped it up, and are the new owner of a Magic Mouse? ;)

Correctamundo.
I'll be picking it up in person from him at the end of August.

Cool. Tell me what it's like - I've been debating one since they were released back whenever.

They are very good. Though I still use my cloned logitech two button wheel optical mouse for simplicity. The arrival of the Apple charger might make me use it and the wireless keyboard a lot more.

Well, I've had my first full day using the mouse today.
It's ace. (8+)
