How were you able to use it. On the plus side it was the first mouse to use USB.
Got a tip for us?

Awww... why is everybody rippin on the eMac? They were quite elegant, and mine has been a damn tank. I love mine... my very first Mac!
I agree. Ours has had to withstand the use of my sisters and surviving that is a feat I tell you.
I agree... I had two of them in the past and was VERY disappointed... the Powerbook 180c ( 5 years older!) had a better LCD!!!!
Also I don't like:
1. iMac g3 puck mouse
2. Any performas... terrible video resolution, horrible speed, yuck!
3. Powermac 6100.... weird video connector, slow, and only 2 ram slots~!
I suppose that is a question? And um, they have like a little "ridge" near the button, so that's how I guided myself. But I agree that they are not the most efficient mice ever.
The 6360 was a nice machine, I'll give you that, but the 6200s were the old-style Apple attempting and failing to build down to a budget. Too many issues to be worthwhile. I actually stuck with my 630CD rather than upgrade, and even that was a hobbled design
Mind you, back in those days you could actually upgrade Macs by swapping out the logic boards. Can't do that anymore.
They did have many issues, but they were basically all cleared up by firmware updates (and in relatively short order), and my core duo macbook is problem-free and going strong at 18 months old.
10.0 yes... 10.5? Um... I hope that's a joke.
The white keyboards, I love the fact that crud easily finds its way in but it's near impossible for it to come back out....
10.5 is running strong and stable for me.. to equate it with 10.0 is like equating XP to Tiger.
I'm not too fond of the current MacBook. With the last update they done away with the matte screen and if you install Windows with Boot Camp formatted in the Fat32 file system, it isn't displayed on the boot screen. Then if you use a different format you can't write to the partition from OS X. It just seems the last update done a wee bit more harm than good.
True. Well, 10.0 is atrocious, it's just that 10.5 isn't great. And, Xp is not great, but tolerable. Thanks for proving my point!

VERY TRUE!
Yesterday I cleaned out my keyboard... It grossed me out enough to seriously consider a new wireless aluminum one.
I liked the hockey puck mouse...people who rag on the hockey puck mouse obviously have never tried using any one of the hundreds of craptastic little "laptop" mice floating around these days...they are much worse.
As for the worst Mac ever: some of the crippled LCs were pretty lame, and the Color Classic was unnecessarily crippled, but nothing compares to the badness of the Performa 5200 and its bretheren. Anybody who claims that a Mac made after the 5200 series is the worst has clearly never used a 5200.
The Mac TV was heavily flawed but a brilliant idea, so I can't hate on it too much. I'd love to have one.
I think that the whole PowerMac G3/G4 line (with the exception of rev.A Beige units and perhaps the Yikes!) were solid machines.
And I love the Cube. Love it.
I had an LC and a performa 5200.
I loved both machines and never had a problem with them so I don't see what was wrong with the 5200 series. Compared to the LC it was a lot faster and it fitted my needs. Once in a while my kids still play some old games on it.

That was our first Mac. It was the family computer - god we hated it. After that, we switched to Windows.
What model is that? I like it's look.
Probably a late-model Performa, but the Beige G3 desktop used the same case. The last of the "traditional" desktop form-factor Macs.
Why not.
LOL.
Reminds me of the old saying of what is the best car. Paid for.
One of the worst Macs that I owned, which was also one of my favorites, was the 840av. Loved the computer. Hated to open it up. Many times I had bloody knuckles after adding RAM or changing out the HD. Tears almost came to my eyes when Apple made the G3, and especially the G4 PowerMacs so easy to open up. A far cry form the 840av type cases.
Why not.

Don't you eva get on my level!
Seriously though, a lot of 'Net sites are dissin' the Cube now. What happened to acceptance of its stunning beauty? Don't care though, I'm doing yard work for a friend of my mom's over spring break and he's going to give me a Cube with a Sonnet 1.6GHz dual processor upgrade and 1.5GB RAM!!! 
People complain about the looks of beige G3´s? They basically used the same casing as the 7x00s and 9600. How about turning your heads to the PowerMac 4400? Now that was plain ugly. And slow.
IMO, the worst looking Macs ever must be the LC 5xx and G3 all-in-one. And perhaps the iMac Blue Dalmatian and Flower Power.

Apple went through this stage of putting loads of different models into that form factor, and releasing them all at the same time
. It could be a Quadra-, Performa- or LC-630 (same machine, different branding ), or any of the 6200 or 6300 series. Some, like the later 6300 series were okay, but most were pants
Further evidence that Cassie is probably the youngest, old-skool person on this board.
No, I think I'd beat her on that. I am the only child I know who could love a 512k that's been doodled on with pencil.
