There have been some problems with the system interpreting a light, inadvertent brush as a tap (which can lead to whole paragraphs of text suddenly being replaced by the next letter you type); there was a freeware extension named TapGuard to help with that, but now, as mentioned, OS X includes an Ignore accidental trackpad input option which should be checked.

Re: I just ordered a iBook
congrats on your new toy. When I bought my PowerBook they threw in a Marware sleeve. Not bad but to light duty for what I like so I bought a Booq bag (auction on spymac). Still in the plastic wrapper and it is very nice, good padding etc. I do use the shoulder strap from the Marware sleeve as it does not slip where the one from Booq is not as good. Stuff that I have bought since iPod 40gig, bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse. Both Apple. The keyboard is great with a nice feel but looks like it will go through batteries pretty fast so when these die I will switch to rechargables. The Mouse is good but I really miss the second button and scroll wheel so will try one of the other ones out there. All in all, really happy. My brother in law bought a 17 Powerbook and was trying to get the keyboard going but it refused. Turns out in the end that when he turned it on upstairs it would wake my PowerBook downstairs. More memory, never hurts I am looking at an iCurve stand but so far have resisted. Mine gets really warm and temps stay around 46 or 47c so may look into a cooling stand for it. I have the standard 12 / 1GHz / Combo / 256MB / 30GB Hard Drive / 10.3 etc... I have a Backpack that was designed to have a laptop in it, It's got a nice cushy section that will protect the laptop nicely and leave enough room for my college books.

Re: I just ordered a iBook
I have a 12 Powerbook and at the moment it is sitting around 65c or 150f so pretty warm. Never seems to run hotter but I felt this was maybe a bit high. I was looking at the icurve to also raise the laptop a bit higher. I have looked at the web site and they have for $22 a stand with a temperature sensor and is supposed to adjust the speed of the fans. If anyone has one of the 13$ ones how load is it?

Re: I just ordered a iBook
I don't think the iBook's trackpad acts as a mouse button; you can get this feature in Sidetrack but it sounds like you'll want to disable it. As for accessories...first item will probably be to throw an Airport Extreme card and a 512mb SODIMM in there. After that, I agree that you should get a case or sleeve to protect the iBook. There are huge threads at both http://www.macnn.com and http://forums.macrumors.com on the best cases sleeves. Besides that you don't really need much, all your USB and Firewire accessories will work with your new 'book just fine. ps--What iBook did you get 12 or 14? Combo drive or Superdrive?

Personally, I use it all the time and NEVER use the clicker button on my PowerBook... -Laurent. But doesn't it get confused between the clicks and the finger repositioning? Nope. I don't know how they do it but to generate a click, you really have to tap on the trackpad. The trackpad must transmit some information to the system when it's being touched and the system determines whether it's a drag (or move, whatever) or it's a click. Further, Apple added a new setting that instructs the system to ignore accidental tapping when you type with the keyboard. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] careware /keir'weir/ n.: A variety of shareware for which either the author suggests that some payment be made to a nominated charity or a levy directed to charity is included on top of the distribution charge.
