thanks for the advice Dave. I've been having trouble getting my head around wireless so I've deferred to my wife who gave up trying to explain the advantages to me and just said, get it. Nuff said, I guess. You may be right about the Logitech although my son boought it for me and it was in excess of $100 and has bells and whistles. Maybe worth a shot. On the subject of extended warranties. I agree in general and the only one I ever bought of any kind was on my G4. I had reason to use it once, then I lost the number. Still, my lack of technical skill on a computer makes the idea more tempting then on, say, a TV set or car or something. I long noted that in Consumer Reports surveys Apple scores tops in customer support.
