My mom needs a laptop (dad just bought her a shitty one from Best Buy and I am making him return it so we can get a nice Dell instead), and she needs a wireless mouse, and a usb flash drive.

The mouse doesn't have to be fancy, but it needs to be simple, and easy to use.

The flash drive needs to be 512MB, and cannot be huge like the http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000CA2GY Memorex one, also, the better gaurded it is, the better it will be for my mom.

I notice that larger usb flash drives often have trouble connecting to a USB port if other USB stuff is connected to it (because the flash drive is just so large).

Any recommendations?

Budget for the laptop?

I've never heard of that problem with a USB flash drive having problems.

This seemingly strange link (http://shop3.outpost.com/product/3974798) (at the time Ross posted it in his Ventrillo comment) makes a bit of sense now.

Cannot vouch for the above mentioned product, however. You might want to post a budget for the items in question, as Ross suggested.

I'm sorry, I already played around with the Dell deals and configured a pretty nice laptop for around $1200.

I am mainly looking for the accessories for the laptop.
