Sometimes ignorance is funny.

Okay, I thought I should share some laughs at my expense.

# 1 - On Thursday I was watching the History channel and they had a show on cement. They were showing how Portland Cement was made and the materials it was made from. Well, until I saw that show, I always thought Portland Cement was a name brand or at most meant cement from a quarry near Portland. Hahaha.

#2 - I have a Microsoft USB Optical mouse. I bought it because its larger than most mice and fits my hand comfortably. I also like the idea of no mouse ball to get dirty. So, while I use the wheel to scroll up and down all the time, I have always ignored the two side buttons next to my thumb. I just "assumed" they were right and left click buttons. I just noticed that they are forward/back buttons for a web browser. Hahahah.

Ive been using this mouse for like 6-8 months and we have a bunch at work too.

(although I use a track ball at work )

That opti mouse is cool. I got the trackball on for my parents. I use a logitech trackball that I must have bought about six years ago. Has the three buttons. That's how they make up for the loss of the third one now a days, two browser buttons and a wheel. Weee

I don't like to clean my balls...

That's why I like the lazer mouse. No mess to clean and doesn't get dirty, and there's a handy module that you can plug into it to zap people with..

Touchpads are great for those who don't like cleaning. Much better than even optical mice or trackballs.

Anyone else out there using a drawing tablet?

I once hd one of those wireless mouses, and I thought they were dumb. Once, it was low on batteries, and using the computer was impossible because it wouldn't do anything! And besides, it's not like not having a wire is going to help. Idiots will still have problems when the mouse is at the edge of the desk and they want to move the cursor down. It's on there on the list of dumb inventions.

I prefer the standard mouse.

I like the opti-mice made by Gateway...I like that little scroller middle button thingy. You know what I'm talking about.
