As you know Im a real new thick computer user. I nearly bought a mouse today, but where do i plug it in to my lap top ?There seems so may places where it might go. Have been told i will be better off with a mouse instead of the black square thing on my lap top.Will I be able to click and scroll better ?

Yep, the black square thing gets on my nerves, I carry an optical mouse around with the laptop so I don't feel the need to sling the thing across the room!

The mouse will plug in in one of 2 places, either the PS\2 port or the USB port. The PS\2 port is a small round one with six round holes and one rectangular one within it and the USB port is a small rectangular hole.

Yes it will be easier. I keep meaning to get one as my notebook only has one of those pimple things that predates your hi-tech square ;)

I would like an optic one though. I suspect using a traditional mouse in so many different locations is likely to see it getting gunked up quicker than normal

If you get a USB one it should fit your laptop nicely - those ports are easy to spot too :thumbsup:

He He you laptop users - get a mouse if it makes things easier.
Then why not get a couple of speakers so you can hear your sounds better - then why not get a nice desk to put it all on

I mainly use the computer for browsing the internet. Once i had tried the laptop with a wireless connection, there was no going back :wink:

I do still have the desktop for backup though.

Watching TV without Broadband last week was frustrating.

We usually google all sorts of things that presenters get wrong or miss out :(

Top tip for watching '... Millionaire' too :thumbsup:
Google it before they put it out to text :D
