[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 405899, member: 9385"] For a small, bluetooth optical mouse I'd recommend the Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. Well, not really since some people seem to have a problem with its little 'nipple' ball and its right click sensor (you need to have the left side of the mouse not touched by the index or other finger for it to kick in.) Plus it's not particularly small, though I do cart it around in my Big Bag of Mac stuff. Plus its kind of pricey for a mouse. So you're left with: Just about any bluetooth mouse made by all the major manufacturers (Logitech, Microsoft.) Bluetooth is built into the Macbook and any mouse will work. Pick one. As for a card reader, I have a rather largish one which is USB, and while its footprint is about as big as the aforementioned mouse it's very flat and reads SD, CF, and two other cards that I never used. The point is that pretty much any card reader you get regardless of size, form factor, type of card it reads, etc. it'll work with your Macbook if it is USB. The Mac world is only intimidating because of the dodgy history of previous generations of Macs only working with certain peripherals. This is no longer the case. Well, cell phones and Pocket PC PDAs might be an exception, but those are either special cases or artificially disabled because Microsoft wants you to buy all of their stuff. These days unless it's a really oddball thing (like my GPS receivers which all have serial connectors which the Macbook lacks) it's going to work with your Mac. [/QUOTE]
