When Microsoft advertised their first optical intellimouse they showed it being used on a carpet... Tay? Any comments, is that allowed within the Carpet code?

You people are so unhygenic it makes me want to vomit. Using a mouse with your hand, on a carpet where all those pooey feet have been treading, then using the same hand to hold your sandwich.
You should be sheep-dipped the lot of you

I've used loads of mice of all makes and description, Apple, Microsoft, branded and unbranded, mechanical, optical, wireless, whatever. I'm still using the wired 5 button MS optical mouse I bought a couple of years ago to replace the previous wired MS 5 button optical, that replaced the wired MS 5 button mechanical I had before that. Dunno why but for me they really are the best mouse going.

Single handed satisfaction so it will be short term from now on

Mangled beyond modern medicines skills to fully repair apparently

How can watching cartoons at work be "safe for work"?

What you up to highly skilled/paid contractor?

Oh, just watching a cartoon mouse at work boss, whilst the permies are busy trying to hit the next deadline....

Damn!

You mean this isn't the unemployed/unemployable carpenters forum

I also use one of these for my Palm - battery life not great, but the 'wow' factor is!

(didn't pay that much for mine though, thanks ebay)

Well, it helps with shading - basically, the angle determines degree and direction of spread, and the shape of the brush in Photoshop - the opacity of the 'paint' diminishes away from the nib. Essential bit of kit for an arty type IMO! Not geeky at all!

I knew you'd say that!
