[QUOTE="ColmOsiris, post: 1950007, member: 422544"] Thanks very much. I think that's the longest reply I've ever had on a forum! If I'm sitting at my desk, I'll use the trackpad, and if I'm sitting in my armchair to watch TV, I use the mouse. I'm very grateful for the detailed explanation. Yes, the iMac is old, but I'm retired now, and can't currently afford to replace it. The wired mouse and trackpad are one option. I also have a newer MBP. I'd be happy to use that instead, but I'd really miss the resolution of the iMac. Would it be possible to use the iMac's monitor as a second monitor for the MBP? I already have a couple of monitors, but they're nowhere as high a resolution as the iMac. There is one upstairs neighbour, using my broadband, and one next door. I doubt the upstairs neighbour moves his TV. One thing I'm curious about - you said "the BT transmiter/receiver may be declining". What does this mean, please? How can that be? Do other circuits in my computer randomly decline as well? That would explain a helluva lot! [/QUOTE]
