I'm getting a new MacBook Pro for Christmas. Was wondering if anyone had suggestions for any accessories to go along with it. I've already got down a BT Mighty Mouse, printer/scanner. I don't really need software; got CS4, Office and iWork.
Anyone?

- I bought it, shipped it to my parent's house for security reasons. They're wrapping it up in order to make me as excited as possible. I think I'm already there.besler

Just as a follow-up, I'm looking for things that aren't too pricey...that my parents can get me.

Do any designers find a tablet helpful in design, especially with websites and logos?

A wacom? Yes. But don't get a small one.

What about screen filters? The Pro I'm getting is with a glossy screen, and I've gone back and forth whether to try out an anti-glare filter.

That spacestation is pretty cool looking; only problem is that I don't even have a desk (I'm in a really cramped apartment). I'll keep this in mind for the future though; thanks.

I would strongly advise against the Mighty mouse! I've had two crap out on me in less than 8 months of use. The scroll ball get so clogged it cannot be unclogged and the right mouse "button" stops working. This happened on both of mine and one of my friend's. They are shit.
- I've got a Mighty Mouse now. I've had problems too. The solution? Rub the scroll ball against regular piece of paper. Works like a charm.besler
- I've not yet found a solution to the right-click issue though. :\BRNK

- i took mine my mighty mouse apart (actually not too difficult to do) and cleaned it. i've been using it for 3 years now.dijitaq
