Get your printer on wireless too, much less spaghetti around the place.

The first wireless mouse I had used to get through batteries at a frightening rate, but since I've been using a microsoft one I only have to replace them every couple of months or so.

I don't have one with my touchscreen!

Bags Sat 18-Aug-12 12:30:39

Join the mouseless century!

I don't like the slidey thing, so it's turned off. Confuses the GDs when they go on my computer, but they soon adapted to the mouse!

Bags Sat 18-Aug-12 12:34:14

Slidey thing? Do you mean swipe?

AlisonMA Sat 18-Aug-12 12:40:14

Yes, nonu get with the vibes!

Don't think I could type so quickly with a touchscreen but might borrow my DS3's fiancee's and have a go. How do you manage with the smaller screen? It frustrates me on holiday when we use the netbook with such a small screen. I'm waiting to be convinced i should get a tablet.

You can have a wireless keyboard with the iPad!

AlisonMA Sat 18-Aug-12 12:43:36

Jeni bring it all with you to the Midlands meet up and 'sell' the idea to me.

I have wireless mouse and keyboard and printer and use rechargables .. they seem to last well.. but I do have trouble with the laptop and sometimes resort to plugging in a mouse.

Annobel Sat 18-Aug-12 13:01:58

I'm happy with the track pad, but the cordless mouse comes into its own for desktop publishing.

Anagram Sat 18-Aug-12 13:03:32

I mean the touchpad, Bags - had to get the guide book out to check!

AlisonMA Sat 18-Aug-12 13:09:48

Oh Jeni why don't we have a sorry and guilty emoticon? Just bring yourself and talk about it instead.

gracesmum Sat 18-Aug-12 13:17:46

If I had the slightest idea what they are jeni I night say yes, or indeed no, but confused

jeni Sat 18-Aug-12 13:32:38

Annobel Sat 18-Aug-12 13:35:41

You are clearly an Applephile, jeni. grin

jeni Sat 18-Aug-12 13:36:37
