hey guys, Just got home from work and have been poundering about buying it, Now i have read what all say, I will now buy one, and i will buy a tower.  Just one question, do the macs have one button or two? and if they come with one can i get a mouse with 2 buttons?

Was only askin cust when i was at PCworld the ones they had were with one button only. But i had read somewhere in this forum that they had two.

Laukev7:
Macs come with 1 button mice. But you can easily use a third party mouse with as many buttons as you like, including the wheel, as long as it's USB. And no configuration is required (unless you want to assign functions to mouse buttons).

psyjax:
May I suggest one of Kengsingtons turbo trackballs, they are fantastic. They come with 4 buttons, and great configuration sofftware    

But any Logitec POS from CompUSA will work fine.

EDIT: BTW, please let us know how you like your Mac! Also, get lots of RAM for the thing, that's the key  ;)  ... but get that separettly or canabalize a PC. wahtever.. anything above 128MB is prefect.

Don't know if you want to buy a new Mac or not but here's a really good link for Refurb deals in London


Canco

If you buy refurb also make sure you get a warranty extension   ;)

if for some reason you decide to get a notebook.  www.Amazon.com has $100 off all PowerBooks(not sure if it applies in Longon though).  This means a superdrive loaded 12" G4 for $1700.  Insanely great deal.
