I don't know if it's the fact I can use it in the kitchen or sitting in bed or what, but I haven't used my desktop since. The mouse issue did have to be solved though! I picked up a wireless with the adaptor that plugs into the USB port for about $13 at Big Lots. It works great! Goodluck getting your computer back!4evergapeachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12423320158834528685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12686782.post-10726509865011595392009-02-15T21:47:00.000-05:002009-02-15T21:47:00.000-05:00I can't think of the link but I know I'll cross it...I can't think of the link but I know I'll cross its path again and blast it all over the Internet, but it was one of those free blogger template sites.

I have a brand new computer in my office that i hardly ever use. I like sitting in the comfort of my couch with the laptop in my lap, hence i think they call them laptop. I really have not found anything i can't do with my laptop that i can't do with the desktop. Well i don't do much anyway. <BR/>Now Lilli & Nevadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543963287673840358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12686782.post-39192409041002603012009-02-11T19:27:00.000-05:002009-02-11T19:27:00.000-05:00LOL!

Still, there's something about a desktop that is easier to use. But a laptop will do in a pinch. And I know what you mean about messing with your auto-pilot.

Not sure where to do that on a PC. <BR/><BR/>I use an apple MacBook Pro as my main computer and it is a breeze to use. I have a wireless mouse which I use all the time, unless I'm in a remote location. Don't waste your time trying to use the touchpad unless your have to.

What's frustrating sometimes is when I think a file is on here and it's on the desktop computer at home, or vice versa.<BR/><BR/>You can get a mouse for the laptop, if you'll be using it a while. They're not that much. You can get one that works off the usb port or if you have blue tooth enabling you can get one of those.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your Morgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12686782.post-55703360519893658202009-02-09T22:57:00.000-05:002009-02-09T22:57:00.000-05:00I agree with Don- you can connect a regular keyboa...I agree with Don- you can connect a regular keyboard, mouse and monitor to the laptop. I'll use mine alone if it is just a short thing but if I'm going to be on it awhile, like on an RV trip, I always take at least a USB keyboard & mouse along to use. My laptop has a touch pad and I can't get very precise with it.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381970360203140143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12686782.post-12282046542659370142009-02-09T16:31:00.000-05:002009-02-09T16:31:00.000-05:00LOL, you too Jeni?
