I bought an otherwise really nice Mac Book Pro model A1278 over the
weekend with a broken screen. I see it has a glass shield over it as
well, which is also cracked. I have not done one of these yet and
wondering how tough this job is. I have replaced a lot of screens over
the years, but none with a glass shield like this has.

Thank you to all the members who replied; it seems that Bob, Les,
Keith, Bobby, Jurgen and Jim (6) loved the Magic Mouse and Dave (1)
hated it, although the "lovers" had reservations about battery life
and cost.
I think that"s sufficient support for me to order one from the Apple
Store - OK, Apple stuff is pricey, but it's beautifully designed and
packed in that crisp, white box that makes you feel it's worth it and
so are you.
regards,
Ian

If you do get one, get the Mobee USB charger - keeps it permanently fully charged!
Overall much cheaper than keep replacing batteries.

I'd like to add one thing:
As a former product designer of mechanical items, I took a close look at
this mouse when I got it, and I consider it a master design effort. The
improvement over all other mice I've ever used is dramatic.
Lowest to the desktop, nothing sticks out to catch anything - including
dust, cat hair, etc., and there are no obvious openings of any kind.
The runners meant to slide on the desktop are simple and effective. I
haven't cleaned them yet. they don't get dirty!
The on-off switch is almost easy to use, and the rest of the underside is
free of openings.
I give Apple's mouse designers plaudits for this design.
For once, I can't think of anything I would improve, mechanically.
You can check Apple/System Preferences/Hardware/Mouse for battery life.
One annoyance: be patient when you wait for the mouse to be noticed again,
after you turn it back on. At first I thought I hadn't turned it on again.
Now, I'm used to the wait... Big deal.

Subject: [macsupport] Can a REALLY marginal WiFi access point affect
"filing" of incoming IMAP messages?
In Mountain Lion mail, when we're getting our incoming traffic from one of
the more anemic SSIDs, I can almost watch the incoming progress bar for an
email message showing it coming in almost syllable by syllable.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
==================================
Having flashbacks to the days of 300Baud when I could read incoming messages
faster than they could come in.
