	Humm... Wouldn't the extra mouse consume more energy and
	shorten the lifetime of the charge of the battery? Would it be
	negligible?

	I'm using a PMac 9500 with an old ADB mouse and I've kind of
	learned to use F11 and F12 as the second and third mouse
	buttons and, regarding a notebook, I'd trade a tiny bit of
	comfort for extra battery life.

	Well, the above paragraphs assume that the pb *has* f11 and
	f12 buttons and that other people also care for extended
	battery life, but I've never touched an apple notebook with
	which I could play for more than 1 hour. :-)

	Besides, I actually like tapping the trackpad as a substitute
	for clicking (which I'm also assuming is possible with the pbs
	and ibooks).


	[]s, Roger...


P.S.: And the notebook that I played with was so badly configured (it
was a professor's notebook and he didn't care for using the trackpad,
as he used the notebook as a desktop substitute, with external
keyboard and mouse). :-)
