Product Description:

Mousepos 3 is an essential tool for everyone doing presentations or demos. If turned on, it dims the screen and puts a spotlight on the area around the mouse pointer, easily guiding the audiences attention to an area of interest.

Of course, there are other uses as well. If you have a large screen, it helps you quickly locate the mouse pointer when you return to your work after an interruption. Visually impaired people tell us that it helps them as well.

Hitting a user definable hot key turns on the Mousepos�?�?�?�?�?�??�?�?�?�?�?�??�?�??�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�??�?�??�?�?�?�??�?�??�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�??�?�?�?�?�?�??�?�??�?�??�?�?�?�?�?�??�?�??�?�?�?�??�?�??�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�??�?�?�?�?�?�??�?�??�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�??�?�??�?�?�?�??�?�??�?�??�?�?�?�?�?�??�?�?�?�?�?�??�?�??�?�??�?�?�?�?�?�??�?�??�?�?�?�??�?�??�?© effect, dimming the screen and putting the mouse pointer into a spotlight that makes it easy to locate.

there's a free alternative that accomplishes the same thing in a different way, and the software's already on your machine. just go System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Mouse & Trackpad and slide the "Cursor Size" slider to the right until you like the size of your now-bigger cursor.

i put the slider to the halfway mark a couple years ago and have never had to hunt for my cursor since. don't know why it wouldn't have the same effect for an audience.

The download from MacFixIt works just fine on my Mac Pro with 0S X 10.4.11. I haven't tried it in Leopard, yet. I am visually impaired and often lose track of the cursor, particularly in applications where it becomes a crossbeam and is almost invisible. Mouseposé is essential on my Macs. My work would be much more difficult and frustrating without it.
