Can I connect a mouse to my lap top ?And would I need to ?Cant see any connection points down the right hand side of my computer,and Im not left handed but there are a couple on the front(left hand side).What would be the advantages of a mouse over what Ive got at the moment ?

The mouse connector is normally colour-coded green, and on my lappy it is round the back of the machine.

I don't bother 'cos I'm quite used to usind the touch-pad now, but if you struggle you can pick them up really cheaply.

Thanks kristian, I will look at the back when I come off my computer. Its just that I wondered if the "click" part on my lap top will ever wear out ?

I very much doubt that the touchpad will wear out pattricia. I personally hate having the touchpad on. I turn it off in the settings because i get sick of catching it by mistake :rant:
I have a tiny USB mouse and i love it :wink:
