Post #216,553 by admin 7/26/05 5:03:21 PM Reply	Less of an issue than it seems. I thought I'd hate it, but I don't really notice the lack of a 2nd mouse button. Not to mention, if you buy a Mini you can just provide your own keyboard and mouse. You're stuck with a notebook, obviously, but like I said it's not that big of a deal.

Post #216,578 by admin 7/26/05 9:35:34 PM Reply	Yes, you can always do that. And I do, since I can't stand trackpads. Some people, however, don't want anything external on their notebooks. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
