[QUOTE="Discerptor, post: 783977, member: 12177"] The MacBook does not come with a mouse. Just about any USB or Bluetooth mouse will work with the Mac out of the box, but if it has special media buttons or something, you'll want to make sure the company has Mac drivers for that if you want to use those. I know American Airlines supports the airline adapter, but I don't have the accessory so I can't really tell you much about it. However, every review I've seen from users that didn't make a mistake like trying to power the 85W MacBook Pro with a 75W power socket has said it works. AppleCare is an extended warranty and phone support on the computer that lasts three years from the date of purchase. It does not cover accidental damage. Whether it is worth it or not depends on what you think the chances are of your computer suffering damage with cost equal to the price of AppleCare between the end of the first year after purchase (one year warranty and 90 days phone support comes by default with your product) and the end of the third year after purchase. There are lengthy discussions on this elsewhere. NeoOffice and OpenOffice are both free and open source. NeoOffice started as a port of OpenOffice that didn't use the clunky Mac X11 implementation to make up for the official OpenOffice Mac release requiring it. Now they both use Mac OS X's native APIs, but since NeoOffice has been using them for longer, it has support for a few more services like trackpad gestures, speed enhancements and grammar checking. You can check them out here: [url=http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/features.php]NeoOffice Features[/url] The downside is that NeoOffice, being a separate project from the official OpenOffice, is never quite at the same version. So OpenOffice is currently into its 3.x releases, whereas NeoOffice is still based on OpenOffice's 2.x code base. [/QUOTE]
