FYI, macally makes a two button with scrollbar bluetooth mouse. That's what I use with my PowerBook.
I agree that an external mouse makes a lot of sense with a laptop but sometimes when I'm only going to be using it to check mail when I'm out of the office (Starbucks perhaps) I don't want carry an extra mouse nor do I want to be limited sitting someplace where I can use one. Recovering from a long period of flakey systems is always good. FWIW, I've had more hardware trouble with my G4 Tower than with the Windows towers here. The G4 Tower problem was finally solved when Apple replaced the system board (motherboard) since then the computer has behaved much, much better. Cheryl D.

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. ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: [email protected] To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
