[QUOTE="kakosc, post: 13845"] check your modem manufacturer.. i know nothing about modems and broadband stuff but theres a chance that the modem isnt mac compatible. You'l be able to network your sisters desktop no probs, well as far as i know, i really have no experience with networking xp through my computer and onto a broadband connection. In theory it will work fine. Games? Mac? pffft. There are only a few sympathetic game developers who make games for mac, and while if you look for them they will be found, there is no where near the choise available. Something i had to come to terms with when i moved over. No more DDR *sobs* Graphics on the iBook arent great. On board, shared ram graphics are never great, but comparativly the ibook does measure up pretty well. I could go to the apple website's compatibility website and look up your printer question, but i really couldnt be arsed. You should dig your way through the apple website inside and out before buying anything anyway. This will answer your battery life question in more detail also, but i can tell you lower end models have about 5 hours, higher end 6 hours. Yeah, most mice are compatible, but check the compatibitly website first. Your mouse doesnt exactly need compatible drivers or anything, osx should just pick it up as a x button mouse and make it work straight away. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
