Mac, keeping simple since the beginning.

I tried one of those ridiculous one button mice once.

It felt like being a one-legged guy in a 100 metre hurdles race.

Yet another reason for avoiding all things "i-" related.

I have a Lenovo ideapad, it is the tuliptest laptop I have even owned. Keyboard layout is terrible. Trackpad is terrible, monitor is terrible. "T" Squeaks.

Yay, it worked! Unfortunately on my model the keys are different sizes, so can't physically swap, but I can live with that

I've no Idea why lenovo persist with that stupid layout.
They've even had to add a bios fix:

Why is the FN key on the outside left instead of C... - Lenovo Community

Apparently on some models you can swap it in the BIOS - will be checking as soon as I get to the office.

not cut out for IT?

I spent around 3 hrs last week trying to work out why the middle mouse button wasn't opening links in a new tab any more. Disabled all the add-ons in firefox, tried a different browser, used the mouse on my laptop (that worked), re-installed the driver, restored the system to two weeks ago. Then I gave up, I have right click set to open a new tab anyway for when I use a trackpad.

Clicked on the mouse wheel tonight without thinking and a new tab opened
