I personally prefer the 1 button touch pad on my ibook
I have wrist problems that regular mice exacerbate though

the trackpad
makes my hand hurt after a while
that's why i bought a travel mouse (it's small and has a retractable lead for storage - it's quite cute)

yeah I have one of those somewhere
it's buried under a big pile of stuff I can't find it and moving my wrist like I do, even though I shouldn't, on real mice makes my arm hurt through my wrist to my elbow

hmm
I've not bothered to assign a sock drawer.
I don't even know what's in my dresser. hmmm...
I should probably get rid of whatever is though, since I obviously never use it

that's a stupid reason
no offence, but they work with regular mice, just buy a nice 3 button optical one.
If you're going to spend the extra money to get a mac, you can afford $20 for a mouse..

that's true, but...
i also am not a big fan of the OSX interface... granted the mac is a wonderful platform, it's secure and such, i just personally prefer my PC

that's a good reason
see? wasn't that easier.
I just think everyone should use whatever os they want.
really, as long as you can save files into standard formats, there's no reason to squabble.
I'm a unix geek though. I like owning a unix box

yeah, I've been told
but I'm afraid of not being able to find drivers for my modem or soundcard or cd burner.
I probably will if I ever get the motivation, but for now I find it convinient to have a windows machine for things like kazaa and my music software

if you're good at tweaking BSD

that's a very good point.
I'm waiting for someone to make a financial decision, then if it's ok, I'm going to buy myself an external dvd burner and put the poor old cd burner out of it's misery.

yeah
seems to be.
I bought it used for $79 which isn't a bad deal since they were still over $200 new at the time. It's been nice, but it's time for a new one
