Genius 350 Trackball offers uber-geek functionality on-the-go

geniusball1.jpg
You can never have enough superfluous additions to your computer rig in your quest to become the ultimate geek. So, for the nerd who simply can't stop adding to his set-up we present the Genius TRAVELER 350 USB trackball device. What is this thing good for? Mostly weirding out your technophobe friends and acting as a five-button control ball mouse backup for when your IBM Thinkpad interface starts behaving oddly. Unfortunately for Mac heads this is a WindowsVista/XP/2000 only gadget (selling price 2,999 yen or $28), apologies to all you MacBook Air heads.

I'm a little confused, I can't remember the last time a usb device didn't work when I plugged it in to my mac, what about this device makes it winblows only, does it have some sort of OS detector in it?

Or is it just advertised as a windows device like so many others? Perhaps the author atempted to install it on his mac and found that usb overdrive wasn't effective?

Please when such a declarative statement is made, a little clarification would be nice.
