I was originally very impressed with Newton Peripherals and the Mogo Mouse, then they stole my post, my pictures, and past-off someone else’s software as their own. I’m pretty disappointed with them now. I no longer recommend their products to anyone based on their arrogant behavior.

I can’t believe they were offered free and open source software and ignored it! Actually, I guess I can, but it angers me even more.

FYI, there is an official classification for abandonware. The company must be out-of-business for a certain number of years. If another company purchased the original company and holds their intellectual property, then the original software can’t be abandonware. So obviously Windows XP will never fall under this classification unless Microsoft goes bankrupt and disappears.

You have to disable Pointix when using the stylus, yes.

James: How does right-click-and-hold on the Mogo interact with hold-for-right-click using the P1620 stylus? Do you need to disable the mouse when using tablet mode?

Will XP also become freeware of the moment when Microsoft abandons (stops selling) it in a few months?

interesting. Around the time that the mogo scroll utility came out, i sent an email to the mogo mouse people telling them of an app that I had written for their mouse. Total freeware and open source.

I sent them the app, the source and never heard back.

it’s a little lame and cheezy and probably not as good as the original app you mention, but i just wanted to put it out there:
