Is this a MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Tower?

This feels like an issue with a laptop-based Mac and could be an issue with the trackpad and pressing on the sides too much (I get this sometimes). If you are using a wireless mouse, may be time for a new battery.

maybe a key is stuck somewhere! or your computer is possessed.

Linus, this is a MacBook - refurbished, I could'nt afford a new one. Also, I've tried posting songs from YouTube, and can't the way I did on my PC. Can you tell me how to do that? Thanks in advance.

Let's deal with one issue at a time.

Your mouse: is it the trackpad or are you using an external mouse?

I think my next phone will be an iPhone 4S
In memory of Steve Jobs!

Well, I finally pulled the trigger on ordering a smartphone, yep, my first one.

iPhone 4s because I have an iMac. With any luck they can just talk to each other and leave me alone. I'm pretty sure the phone will be smarter than I am.

Considering hiring a 12 year old to shadow me for a couple of days when it gets here to teach me the ways of the world.

What have I gotten into?

You'll love having a smartphone. The computer in your pocket! Have fun with your new toy.

My Mac now has it's own little mini-me. I may be a little disturbed.

It is in it's dock; I assume they are communing in some way.

Set up seemed simple enough. My Wi-Fi is named Hal.

I hope that isn't some kind of predictor.

I guess this means I have joined the current century.

Hmm

More tea
