    I just recieved a new dell m1210 (which i am loving), but I just want to know if there is any special software that is really useful or "must have" for laptops. Also I will be buying some accessories like a mouse and possibly a protective cover, so if anyone has reccommendations for those it would be greately apprechiated (it has bluetoothe too, if thats helpful). Basically i want to make sure im getting the right stuff for my laptop and not missing out on somthing :p

    I got the Logitech V400 laser mouse for my 1210. It does have a dongle, but its small and is ok. The thing tracks anywhere and feels really smooth and great. The Storm Grey one matches the 1210 well and looks good. The only bad thing is the price, $50, but its worth it.

    Notebook Hardware Control is good to have--just google it. Also firefox and i8kfangui are good to have. I dunno, it's really up to you. I would really recommend a good reformat and reinstall if you already haven't.
