Mouse, you want a smaller palm sized one. Either MS or Logitech. Laser technology.. Usually between $25 and 40.

Dust, where can I download Chrome from? I'm sure I can figure it out but if you know off the top of your head then I thought I'd ask.
It's not a Laser, but it's a good mouse. We use some of them for our Laptop users at work. Get it!
Chrome: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/
Thanks bud. I see I can get the M325 (Laser) for $5 more. Is it worth it? The M525 is RF (you're right, it's not laser). Will I need a mouse pad with either of these?
Thanks for the Chrome link. This touch pad is abhorrent!

See which one fits your hand better and get it. Generally speaking, you should not need a mouse pad with either of those.
I have used both and for for everyday use I go with what feels best in the hand. I do have a gaming mouse for certain uses...but for everyday use I like whatever feels "right."
The only thing I can say about mouse's (?) I don't like uncorded ones. The batteries die to fast for me. Yes, I'm on the computer waaaaaay too much.

Is the cost of the battery prohibitive?
No. It's just a PITA when the battery dies in the middle of doing something (game) and you can't do a thing. At first it's like, did my computer freeze? Then it's, well ....! Go find a couple of batteries. Irritating and I was going through enough of them that I would actually remember the last time I changed them. LOL
Well, I signed off the laptop. I've had enough touchpad for one night. My bursitis is acting up. I'm mouse-bound tomorrow. 
I'm so used to using my fingers on the screen with the iPad, I was looking at my sister's laptop and trying to scroll.....on her screen......which is NOT a touch screen 
No booze was involved so I have no excuse for that one!

Well, I'll tell you, they can stuff that touchpad up their .... That thing is utterly worthless. I'm hooking up a mouse on this thing ASAP. I'd rather they not put a touchpad on the thing and just give us a mouse instead. If I had to use that pad they'd be throwing me in the booby hatch by noon.
You do get used to it. Took me a bit though.
I'm too old to be getting used to things. Hell, I don't even buy green bananas anymore.
Good morning Army! TGIF!! Hope everyone has a great Friday

You might want to consider LibreOffice (forked from OpenOffice). From their site, "You can download, install and distribute LibreOffice freely, with no fear of copyright infringement."
It's an open source suite that is compatible with MS Office and runs on multiple OSen. I haven't needed to keep up with Office products these past few years, so I don't know if they're 100% compatible today. Should be fine for most features if not for the fanciest of layouts & such.
