1st) Are you saying you want an extra email address from your own ISP provider? Most ISP providers offer more than one email address. I use Virgin cable and they offer up to 5 free email accounts only one of which has to be your actual name. At the moment I'm using 3, one for 'er indoors, two for me. One of mine bears absolutely no relation to my name and is not gender...

I prefer gmail to hotmail, but to open a hotmail account register here:

Click 'sign up now'.
You should have no problem with a wireless mouse if you buy a good brand like Logitech.

It's just personal preference re gmail/hotmail.
I have my GMail account set up so that it also fetches emails from my other accounts such as blueyonder and I have a GMail app on my smartphone. It suits me.
Re the mouse - I think big names like Logitech are more likely to work as they should. Mine works with XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Having said that I have a very cheap one that I use with my netbook and it works just fine. That is a Tesco non-brand.
As already said, you will need rechargeable batteries.

At the moment I'm using 3, one for 'er indoors, two for me. One of mine bears absolutely no relation to my name and is not gender specific. You can basically use any combination of letters and numbers, provided no one else has thought of it first.
If your talking about webmail, ie Google, Yahoo, Hotmail you can pick any letter/number combination you like provided no one else has got it.
2) Nearly all the wireless mice I've seen are USB plug and play. The USB thingy (wireless transmitter/receiver) is plugged in and Windows will find and install the drivers for you. Possibly if your installing a gaming mouse you can d/l additional software from the makers to tweak the settings.
Havw a look in Tesco's etc as they often sell them off at good. Picked up a Microsoft one for my laptop couple of weeks ago for about £8.
