mouse frenzy

The mouse has gone —

Berserk. I knew the mouse was on its last legs because it was kicking up dust over little things like highlighting text. I orderred a new mouse. A pretty cool mouse, or it looked like a pretty cool mouse. A “Mighty Mouse.” It was pretty. It was by Mac. It was wireless. Should be a good mouse, right?

No. Mighty Mouse required Blue Tooth, so I had to get that in addition to the mouse. [Bucks were adding up.] And then. The Mighty Mouse totally sucked and was about as operative as a pretty paper weight and every time I had to do real work I would have to unplug it and plug in the old mouse just to be able to scroll fast enough to feel like I was not pushing lead and to actually get work done.

Back to Mac for you Mighty Mouse.

Now though the little workhouse mouse [it is not pretty it is a Logitech wireless which means ugly ugly ugly but hey at least it worked like a ninja mouse for two solid years and it was cheap and did NOT require additional software] is gasping its last breath and messing with me big while I try to work by throwing highlights all over the page anywhere except where I want them. [This is true hell when you are trying to write anything of substance forget just dash off an email.]

So.

I have to get a new mouse.

But what kind of mouse? It has to be wireless to work with the little PowerBook. But the freaking Mac mouse did not work.

I have to do it today too. I cannot work like this.

Technology. You cannot live with it and you cannot shoot it.
