Yesterday night I tried to connect the iPod to Linux. I tried some programs but none was working decently; but the good news is that you don't really need any special program "made for iPod" to do this.

Apple MightyMouse: don’t buy it.
0 Comments Published March 12th, 2009 in Apple, Hardware, Linux, SoftwareTwo Saturdays ago, I bought the Wireless Apple Mightymouse. Very nice looking, but I find it much harder to use than the MacBook's touchpad.
