Sharing a 27" Cinema Display using an Atlona AT-MDP21 KVM switch

Quick blog post here.  Hooked up an Atlona AT-MDP21 2x1 Mini DisplayPort KVM switch to my 2009 Mac Pro and my 2010 MacBook Air.  Both run the 27" Cinema Display at its highest native resolution, 2560 x 1440.  Atlona documentation states highest resolution is 1920 x 1200.  Easy to set up and I have the Cinema Display USB in the back working between the two computers.  The only downside is the slight 1-2 second pause when switch the KVM from one computer to another.  Not a big deal.  Highly recommended.

Loving my new Magic Trackpad

Just received my Magic Trackpad from Apple today.  Very impressed after a bit of use with it.  Love all the different gestures that you can map to.  After using this, a mouse is going to seem awfully archaic.

Not a fan of Apple's new Magic Mouse

I recently purchased the new Apple Magic Mouse and after about a week of on and off use, I'm not a fan of it. For me, the laser tracking is terrible. I thought it might be the desk so I bought a mouse pad (remember those) and though the mouse pad made tracking a bit better, the Magic Mouse laser tracking performance is irritatingly poor on both the desk and mouse pad surfaces. It's a beautiful device, but it's basic performance is just terrible from my experiences with it. I'm going to hang onto it for a while and see if the driver support gets better over time.

Anyone else seeing issues with the basic laser tracking performance?
