Macs quite happily use three-button mice (just plug any generic mouse into the USB port). OSX is still MUCH easier, more intuitive and prettier to use than any of the Windows variants. They're much happier networking and getting online. And if you do need to run Windows programmes, there are a number of options for running, er, Windows on most new Macs, either as an alternative boot or in an emulator.
Get a reasonably high-spec MacBook (2Gb RAM for preference, although my 1Gb MacBook handles most things fine) - should set you back about £1,100 inc VAT. -- Richard Young Freelance writer and editor _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
