apples new Magic trackpad

Just got my new Magic Trackpad and after a couple of hiccups, got it working with my Mac Mini. Got to say, I love it! Couple of hints for those of you getting these..... be sure to download the Magic Trackpad update from apple.com or your mac computer may only recognize it as a bluetooth mouse so gestures won't work. Took me a short while to figure this out. Then the set up is a breeze and it works beautifully. Set up your gestures preferences in system preferences and you are good to go.
Nice large surface to work with and the batteries are nicely hidden away in the top of the mouse so it is slightly elevated, much like the apple keyboard.

Goodby clicky scrollwheel mouse. Will save on battery replacements too as my Logitech wireless mouse was always "on" so it needed new batteries monthly. Trackpad will turn itself off after three minutes of idle time so batteries should last a lot longer!
