[NON BLOG] Mice (mouses?)

[rfmcdonald]

My old computer mouse has been on the fritz intermittantly, but I've been able to cope--I know keybaord shortcuts, I could fiddle with the cord, I could clean the trackball. When I booted my computer up on Thursday evening to find that my mouse was no longer capable of moving the pointer from side to side, I had to bite the bullet. Fortunately for me, the USB-requiring Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse works wonderfully, even with the pleasant cheerful ruby glow on the underside that I'll have to make sure not to make eye contact with.
