So my mouse has been getting stuck more and more, until finally it seemed to just die. It wouldn't move the cursor. So, being computerly inept, I went to my roommate, Mr. Anti-Social, and asked him to take a look. He confirmed that my mouse was, in fact, dead. He loaned me one of his (he often has spare computer stuff laying around, both for his own use and because he works on computers for people for extra money), and I told him I would go about getting a new one.
Since I was watching football today at a bar right by our local Office Max, after the Raiders shocked the Steelers and everyone else by winning, I paid my bar tab and went over to OM to check things out.
Ten minutes and $42 later, I walked out with a wireless keyboard/mouse set from Logitech. No, the salesman didn't upsell me....my keyboard, while still operational, was pretty old and very dirty, and frankly, why the hell not?
So, still getting used to the new equipment, but I like it. No, it's not one of those ergonomic keyboards that "splits" the keys into two halves....I can never get used to typing on them, and I prefer the old standard kind...but it's still new and a bit different, but overall, I like this.
Now I just have to get a computer that isn't older than my truck! (Only a slight exaggeration!)
