I have a Macbook Air and know how helpful it is to use the trackpad and Exposé, especially in apps like Safari. My parents are switching from PC to Mac and just bought a Mac mini, but are using the traditional mouse. They are likely to have multiple Safari windows open at once. Is there any way to do exposé with a normal mouse? Are there alternatives to it? Thanks in advance.
Logitech.com provides "Control Panel" software that installs into SystemPreferences. It intercepts mouse/keyboard signals to provide context switching and application swapping functions.
Note that Expose is now called Mission Control, and in Mountain Lion there is now a Mission Control icon in the Dock. This means you can use a mouse to get Mission Control (Expose) functions simply by clicking the Mission Control icon in the Dock. Naturally this will work with any brand of mouse, without having to install any additional software.
Also, Mountain Lion maps Mission Control/Expose to one of the function keys, so your parents can use these features two ways (mouse or keyboard) even with no trackpad.
