I'm a 50 yr. old "empty nest" Mom who returned to school for a 2nd degree last year and a friend convinced me to switch to Mac for my laptop. We ordered an iBook G4. I'm still learning the ropes; haven't even begun to explore the possibilities beyond simple email and word processing. I do, however, appreciate not battling viruses, spyware, etc. I have the Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard but really do still miss the advantages of a right & left clicking mouse. I have a wireless Logitech that I use with my desktop Dell but I've read mixed reviews about compatibility issues with iBook. I don't need anything fancy...just the basics...but I want ease of use, comfort, dependability. Suggestions from those of you who are experienced? I have the bluetooth option. mommastudent
