Just check the warranty, if it says that gunshots are covered, do it. Your loss, not ours.

In what way? Maybe we can help.
Please don't just say OS X doesn't do what you want it to do and how you want it done.

Neither does Windows. I had to learn how to use it to be productive.
Same with linux (even more so here).

So whats the beef?

Mouse acceleration (which can't be fixed)
This stupid IRC client that I'm too lazy to fix.

It's not the speed. I don't know if you've ever used a windows, but there's an option to disable the acceleration (not speed) so that for x distance, it will ALWAYS move y distance on the screen, not pending the rate at which you move the mouse. Trust me, I've searched and searched and searched the net. The next best option is to just jack it up to as max as I can (which is convenient with my mouse since it has a sensitivity 'on the fly' button to max it out) and not move it that fast.

Like with most computers, if there's any acceleration at all, it goes more like this: ......-----''''''' whereas the Mac goes like this: .-''''''''''''''''

That article sucks. I personally prefer the OS X acceleration curve. It isn't "unnatural" its just different. Who is to say what natural mouse movement is? I find working on a PC with acceleration turned on cumbersome and hard to work with. Its a personal preference. Get used to it or quit complaining. You the first person I have heard complaining about it (obviously not the first to ever complain about it but the first Ive heard) So apparently it isn't that big of a problem.

Do you move the mouse with your fingers or your whole hand?

See, I'm a finger mouse person. I anchor the base of my palm on the desk and use my fingertips to move the mouse, so those minute movements aren't a pain on non-accelerated mice, but when you have such a steep acceleration curve, it pisses me the hell off 'cause it never goes at the speed I want it to go.

How long have you had your mac? If you just be patient you'll probably get over the problem you have with the mouse pretty quickly.
