Sometimes Wendy can be really smart, isn't it ?

Bungleau · 03-11-2005, 10:18 AM

Ah, the joys of optical mice...

I made the switch, and I'll *NEVER* go back

One thing I've found out the hard way... they don't like surfaces with highly contrasting patterns. A zebra-striped mousepad would not be a good idea, or an oak surface with nicely defined grain patterns. I've got one table that the grain patterns cause the mouse to jump all over the place. Dull and boring is best...

Hope you're feeling better soon, Cloudy. I was down (but not out) earlier this week, and it truly sucketh.

Yep the optical is the way to go!

Heck I rarely see the ball mouses in stores anymore, CompUSA doesn't have any, think Game Stop sells one or two, but that's about it.

Congrats Johnny for finally getting rid of your...ball... [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Thanks, no more ballwashing for me anymore. Now what to do with all the extra spare time ?

Cloudbringer · 03-11-2005, 10:44 AM

Thanks, Bungleau, I'm feeling droopy today but I think resting this weekend will help alot.

LOL, no balls for Johnny anymore!

LOL, I really do like this optical mouse much better, so yup, johnny, Wendy's got some good ideas!

She's a keeper, our Wendy!

Ladyzekke · 03-11-2005, 10:46 AM

I dunno, move onto cleaning your joystick?

OK sorry, [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] hey it's Friday!

johnny · 03-11-2005, 12:53 PM

Now why didn't i see that one coming ?

Ivelliis · 03-11-2005, 01:05 PM

LOL at the talk about balls and joysticks [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Congratulations Sigmar, and have fun!

I just got my mark for my Maths Module test. I could only get D, C or B, and I got a B

I gotta go get parents, maybe I'll get some money for doing so good

I also use optical mouse. Courtesy of Logitech of course.

I will watch the first part of LotR in about five minutes.

Just got back from a nice game of football

I was "excused" from going in goal because of my wrist, and it was pretty good. In the end we won 9-7, and most people agreed the teams were pretty fair.
