[Ham-Mac] Re: iMac G5/SuperMouse RFI Problem (Dan Romanchik KB6NU)

[Dan Romanchik KB6NU]

Thanks, guys. At least I'm not the only one with this problem.  I was  
using this computer as my home office computer, so this wasn't really  
a problem that I saw until I upgraded to one of the new iMacs and  
passed the old computer on to my wife. I wasn't using it when I was  
playing radio. Now, however, my wife sometimes uses the computer while  
I'm down in the shack.

fwiw, I'm not having this problem with the SuperMouse on the new iMac,  
so maybe they made some design change that corrected the problem.

I think what I'm going to do is to disable those buttons. My wife  
doesn't use them anyway.

73!
