She's such a sweet person - we laugh and work hard - such a pleasure.

It's great that you get along so well. Socializing and work together is a good combination.

Kate, a laptop mouse is definatly a great gift, i couldnt work my laptop without it, she will appreciate it very much.
Glad you two get along so well, she is obviously very fond of you for working all those hours, wtg girl, it doesnt happen often that we meet "those" kind of people.

I got lucky!

Those of you who use them, do you like the tiny mouse like the "pocket" ones or a regular size mouse for your laptops? I use a standard size because of the damage in my hand - otherwise it cramps - but I would think a college student on the run would prefer the small one. Also, my son says the wired mice are more reliable and don't need batteries, but the wireless can be so convenient... what's your preference?

I have the laptop mouse, it's very tiny, i used it for quite a while till i got my new regular one, for myself, i prefer the regular size, the small one is ok, but after a while my hand got tired. I agree with your son, a wireless mouse is convenient, but it runs on batteries which is not always convenient, specially if you dont have replacements on hand. I prefer the wired mice.

Thanks, Mandy. I think I will order one from newegg.com - easier than fighting through the local best buy on the weekend! lol

I think that she'll love a laptop mouse! I hate using the touch pad on a laptop too. What a good idea! Maybe you could give the other idea to her parents so they could get it for her as a Christmas gift.

She's a graduate student and her parents live on the other side of the world from us! But I am thinking that for all of my students who are college age that the mouse would be a good holiday gift. I don't have to give gifts to many of them but there are a few who I have been tutoring for a long time.
