Love the thing.
Tried trackballs, infra red cordless, and regular mice......This thing kicks butt.....can kick back in my chair and not worry about line of sight, cleaning my ball ( ;D ), works on any surface like my leg even........heh heh.......KEEPER!!
And it was only $7.00 about.......

Love them things. I've been using Intellimouse (for internet) for years now. They rock. Good choice.

Got a color refill kit for my printer too. Got sick of paying $30.00 for one cartridge when I can do 6 refills for $20..
We'll see how it works though.. :D

Heard nothing but bad about those. Never tried it.

I just got an external CD Writer for my laptop. I just figured out it only has a DVD player and not a CD burner and I was getting a little "anxious" about some of the files on this rig. Only a hundred bucks. I wonder how many times I would have kicked myself in the nuts if I crashed before I backed this stuff up?

I got another cute little "thingy" the other day, made by Sony, called a Micro Vault. It's a USB flash writer that holds 64 megs and all you have to do is plug the sucker in on any computer and there's all the info you copied to it. Pretty trick.

Yeah no shit eh?!

Just printed a proposal I sat up most of the night doing and found I didn't have ink to print.........looks ok, the CA mandatory red is a little faded but then it was the first one too.

Yeah I got a burner with my new pc........really nice to have, beats the crap out of the zip 250 i had to use before that's for damn sure.
