Hey again, well, i got it! windows XP, found a shop here in libya that sell
original windows xp! on it right now on my Macbook pro, annyway.
just a question, anyone know how the hell you right click on mac laptops?
theres only 1 mouse button, when you right click, you press ctrl+click
usually, but that doesn't work.
also, on the macs you can put both fingers on the trackpad, and move in
whatever direction, as to scroll down/up or sideways, anyone know if you can
get that working on windows with like, special mac software or something.
boy, switching was hard enough to begin with, but switching back is even
worse. but oh well, need the windows based programs..

thanks

I wound up buying a portable bluetooth mouse to solve the mousing issues, but if you need to right click there are some programs that let you set a right click button http://www.geocities.com/pronto4u/applemouse.html is a decent utility (download at your
own risk) for doing so.

Yeah, I stopped using windows for the most part on it, because OS X makes life much easier in the laptop world, heh.

Bluetooth works just fine for me under XP, but if you don't want to invest in batteries I'd suggest USB.

Lol, if investing was the problem would have gotten a desktop :) i'm all
about convinience and prettiness :) in a manly way,
well, thanks, will hopefully buy one soon as i get back to england. Libya
sucks for buying stuff.
