I was expecting a bit worse wirless connection, it's more the buffering that really freaks me out a bit

As for the buffering issue, I've always noticed that notebook to router to notebook streaming very often incurs some buffering. I don't think you're alone with that. Remember, it's (probably) not streaming "directly" from your iBook; it has to go to back through the wireless router too. Depending on the speed of the router and the network traffic at a given time, this could cause small or large buffering delays.

Actually, it is worse than that. The music isn't even on the iBook it's on my file server mounted via NFS into the iBook, then "broadcast" over the Aiport Extreme.
I think I may connect the iBook with a cable and see if the performance improves, this morning the iBook couldn't even stream to the Airport Express without breaking up

Regarding the clicking, though, as long as you're pressing hard enough to hear that "click" sound, there shouldn't be any problems sending mouse down events. If you can regularly reproduce this problem, I would definitely suggest showing it to an Apple technician (easiest and cheapest would be at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store).

No Apple Store(s) in Canada as far as I know, at least not in small town Edmonton. I guess I have to talk with the Mac Store nearby, I just think the button is waaaay too hard to press in comparision to my iBook at least (or even the hated Dell at work).
