before using Time Machine to transition to my late-model Mac Mini. I was particularly happy about not needing to replace my Fetch FTP program or my favorite FLV player. My Logitech USB optical mouse works works fine, too -- maybe you need to download a driver.

I had to say goodbye to my HTML/raw text editor, but I found free substitutes. I tried Libre Office, which I'm keeping because it has an Access-compatible database program. But since it doesn't have an email program and I don't like Apple Mail, I got an OEM copy of Microsoft Office 2011. The only mistake I made was not saving my Microsoft Office Outlook e-mails first!
