New Mouse

Don't know anything about it, but we are not talking about megabucks. Treat yourself!

New mouse
The only thing is that I looked in my odds-and-ends of computer stuff and found a whole nest of mice; I believe there are four. One is an old basic number that came with my very first computer. Another was my first wheel mouse, and another is the kind that you can use without a mouse pad, on any surface. I forget what the fourth one is, but it's there...

I guess I've hung onto them for fear that my current mouse might up and die and I'd be stuck. Talk about hoarding! But what do you do with an old mouse that's in perfect working condition, but doesn't have all the bells and whistles of its successors?

So I think I will treat myself to it.

Tomkitten, let me be the first to congratulate you on your decision.

I like to avoid wireless, myself. After I broke my last computer table, I bought a bigger one, and I have a bit more room now. We've also done better by not stacking the whole house on the new computer table, like we did the old one. So wires don't bother me.

I dunno about the choppiness, but one thing I've noticed is that MS used to put out crap hardware. Stinkly little break after two hours mice and what not. Then, guessing here about three years ago, they started making some better products, and as far has hardware is concerned I've been pretty happy with them. So I'm sure the wireless mouse will end up working out pretty good.

Might as well have some fun with it. . . plug both of them in. They shouldn't interfere with each other, I'd think. . . .I like fooling around and playing with the two mice. . . Silly and stupid, but amusing for a moment or two.

The problem with mice with tails is that the tails get caught on things, and that is a nuisance. I realize that the problem is small in the general scheme of things, but it is a pain.

Yeah, I know what you mean. We often say "Sometimes it's the little things" when you're talking about things that make you happy, but it goes the other way, too.
