really annoying on a PowerBook. After all on a desktop system all
you need
to do is change the mouse plugged into the computer (the OS even
supports 3
button mice natively) but with a PowerBook it means I have to carry
a mouse
around with me which really sucks.
I'm not very comfortable with laptop touch pads - too heavy of a
touch, perhaps. Anyway, when i ordered my Powerebook, II also bought
an apple Bluetooth mouse. Quite a shock to discover that it's one
button! Turns out that if you hold down for just a bit too long,
it becomes a right click.
When I first tried the machine, I thought that the mouse was two-
button with an integral case, so I went to the apple website to
see. Apple told me that the mouse was one-button so that it would be
less complicated, and easier to use.!!!
3-letter words are less complicated than most larger ones, but i
don't think limiting my writing to 3-letter words makes things any
easier.
I'm trading in my apple mouse for a 2 button wheel mouse.
I sill like the G4 a lot. Maybe it's just that I'm finally
recovering from a long period of flakey hardware, returned
replacements, endless re-installs, etc.
Thanks again for the good advice regarding text editors. I have d/ld
both skEdit and textWrangler. Tried textWrangler last night, and the
JS code I wrote worked, so the editor must be fine, right;-)
Kind regards,
