How about a mouse?

Never bothered to try a mouse, just bought a Kensington keyboard for the copilot to use for her genealogy writings, something she has never used. :D

Lets face it its not really for serious work like cad or programming but for the casual shit, email, forums, facebook, web browsing and reading I reckon its the duck guts.

I even transfer photos from camera to iPad for review or showing off. :roll:

In a earlier life for serious stuff I used a Teradata system or a MVS machine, they were real machines. :ugeek:

Bob,
I have both keyboard AND mouse using bluetooth.
Keyboard is Apple standard size; with numeric pad. (Generic bluetooth k/bs are commonly available.)
Mouse is a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 500, bought a few years ago.
I chose this one because it does not need a dongle plugged into a USB slot, just pair it with the laptop & away ya go! I think the bluetooth mouse is still available, probably with a higher number. ;)
Bought mine at Officeworks. About $45 from memory... bet that's changed, too. :(
Both keyboard & mouse are currently in regular use with my MacBook Pro, but when we upgrade to iPads, I intend keeping both.
Regards & God bless,
Ray
