[QUOTE="adam80, post: 46060"] Yeah, like someone said previously this is a resolution issue. With the resolution being higher on the Mac than on the PC. If the whole one button thing doesn't bother you, I'm a huge fan of the Apple bluetooth mouse. No cables and no unit to plug into the computer as in other wireless mouses out there. Just pull it out, slide the optical door on the bottom open, click a couple times with the mouse button to get the Mac to recognize it and away you go. Plus its sexy as all ****. This is completely normal. It is meant to do this. Apple made the Powerbooks out of Aluminum for a reason. Aluminum is a good conductor of heat and helps dissopate the heat through the case and out into the open (unlike most other laptops which are plastic and tend to hold the heat in, which can end up causing damage to the laptop). Hmmm...that's odd, I frequent alot of hotspots and when I encounter a new one it asks me if I should trust it but it usually dosen't ask me that again. The only thing I can think of is that the network settings changes slightly every so often so your Powerbook interprets this as a new network asking if you trust it. Yeah I think thats something every laptop user has to get used to. I heard that the Sidetrack software works but simply getting used to the trackpad while typing shouldn't take you that long. The best book hands down. (I assume you have Panther, but they have versions of the same book for previous os releases) [URL]http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0596006152/qid=1093069580/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/103-0523162-7255830?v=glance&s=books&n=507846?tag=macforums0e4-20[/URL] [/QUOTE]
