Can you have a mouse with a laptop?

Your laptop will have either a round PS/2 or more likely a rectangular USB port. In either case, plug in the mouse and it will configure itself instantly.

Ten bucks at CVS/Eckard, or spend as much as you like at a computer store. But get optical, not the old fashioned kind with the little ball in the bottom--they suck.

I have absolutely NO idea what a PS/2 or a USB is, but I'll look into it.

Thanks! :-)
