One rather strange thing I've noticed though since installing it, is that my computer 'beeps' whenever I roll over a menu item within Magic Prefs menu (within System Preferences) and 'arbitrarily' in numerous other ways as well... any ideas? Personally I think it's conflicting with some other program I have installed, but I'm unable to find the culprit, if that is in fact the problem... I'm hoping that maybe you have some insight here.

I do agree that adding multiple gestures makes using the magic mouse difficult, but the few that I have added seem to work well. I'm sure after a few more tweaks the software will recognize mistakes with gestures. That being said, I still will be using magic prefs because it is much better than not having it at all. Matt Hey Dave,

I wouldn't give glowing reviews though... as you said, the software is pretty limited (I spell that with the following letters...c r a p) and I find Magic Prefs to be a bit of a nightmare to say the least...IF you turn on more than 3 or 4 gestures... (well at least if I do)... the mouse goes on a rampage... doesn't seem to know what to do... so it gives me a kaleidoscopic array of flashing widgets, Expose Desktop, Expose Apps, Dashboard, Application Switcher (new in ver. 1.6.1 & for the life on me I can't figure out WHY Apple didn't code THAT in...), Spotlight and merrily tries to dish up its menu of "can dos") ... I also find it a little misleading in that Magic Prefs promises you the world... but once you have it in your hot little hands, 9 of it's 24 selections come with ~ *potentially hard to use ~... AND THAT'S A TRUE STATEMENT IF EVER THERE WAS ONE!!! as I think most of the others could use that disclaimer as well... potential is there...and kudos to the authors, but I think it needs quite a bit more 'tweaking' before I'd give it a 'two thumbs up'... otherwise what will the authors do with all their spare time? >:) But in all fairness, we're still pretty close to the starting line... so having said that... I'm looking forward to Magic Prefs updates and hopefully JOB will ditch that abysmally ugly iPad and get back to improving what he already has... I think he scored big time with the Mighty Mouse...hopefully Magic Mouse will improve to the same level. Cheers Dave Hi Matthew,
