Dude, you need to get a Mac. My Windows laptop finally crapped out and I did the deed and got a Mac. So far this thing is awesome. I may never return to Windows.

On the macboook you can right click by holding control and left clicking. You can also go into system preferences and change in to placing two fingers on the pad and clicking.

Or load Ubuntu (it's a Linux O/S) in a dual boot configuraton. It's clean and virtually crash free. Runs Firefox as the standard browser and their OpenOffice is totally compatible with MSOffice. Tons of free apps available through their software downloads too. Much better than the few freebie Windows apps. If you're Windows crashes, just boot into Ubuntu, capture all your important stuff off the hard drive, and reinstall Windows...or not :)

fbomb. I opened the package you sent. the cargo lamp was great and so was the left (drivers side) marker light... but I wanted the right (passenger side)! Do you have the other one?

i agree with Randy i run Ubuntu and windows on my personal laptop and my tower and have not had any issues since setting up the dual boot process. i love it. took me a bit to understand the linux OS but it is very easy to learn and works great.
