I've also heard WoW is cool, just be aware that it has a $15 monthly fee, too.

Besides that, I think I would personally go for an iCurve.

WoW is great fun. I'd put my vote there.

OR

If you like the single button mouse, I'm a big fan of the Bluetooth. I have the Apple Keyboard and love it- but really like have more buttons on the mouse.

Yeah, I was going to recommend a bluetooth multibutton mouse (a la the MX500) until I realized the Apple store didn't carry any. They had wired multibutton mice, proprietary wireless multibutton mice, but no BT multibutton mice. Bah!

Yeah, Logitech's BT mouse if the MX900. No drivers necessary, I love it.

I'd get the BT keyboard and spend some cash on a BT mouse to get a nice wireless external setup.
NOW YOU SEE ME! 2.4 MBP and 2.0 MBP (running ubuntu)

I am leaning towards WOW, I would love an icurve and BT keyboard, BUT I don't have a desk, so, no place for it. I am afraid I will get addicted to WOW though...

WoW isn't really THAT addicting. I can stop whenever I want to. It's just that you're paying a monthly fee so you kinda feel like you HAVE to play or you're wasting your money. I found Final Fantasy XI (for PS2) pretty addicting though since I could play it from my couch . Definitely get Wow. Worth every penny.
