Earlier today, my mouse died. Well not the whole thing, but one of the most useful features of a mouse, one that makes me dislike Macs because of their lack of it, the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON, died... Out of the blue! Bam! Stopped working! But its ok. This mouse I have (that died) has been with me for 3+ years, I think. It had a good run. So ok, off to Radio Shack. They had few mice, and they all sucked, so I left. But, I did have a nice chat w/ my Elementary school principal, Mr Leewald (sp?) so that was cool. I then went to the over-priced Schat store, because, unfortunately, they are about the only place to go for that kinda stuff. Someone should make a competing electronics store! More computer store than electronics though, because Radioshack is pretty cool. But a competing store that has computer and console games. Anyway, I got this $40 mouse thats pretty nice, and its also from Microsoft (my old mouse was from MS) so I didn't have to install any more software. The mouse has 5 buttons total (right, middle, left, and 2 extra) so thats nice. I had some fun configuring my 2 extra buttons... One I set to do "instant view" which puts all of your windows on the screen, all paneled-like, and you can click on one to go to it. Pretty nifty I think. The other is a magnifier, useful for UT04 haha. EYESOCKET ACTION! *ahem* anyway I like this mouse. The only downside is that it is wired, while my old mouse was wireless. Also its a bit different than my old mouse in that it doesn't play nicely with my mousepad which has a wrist-rest. But I'll get over it :). By the way, the name of this mouse is the Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000. So there.
OK, instead of making another post... I'll talk about this book I got. Audio book, that is... I got it with an iTunes card that was a graduation present. Its about how Google was made, its pretty intersting. Google fascinates me. You could call me a "fanboy" but I admit I am, to a degree. I'm only a half hour into it, though I think I'll like it. Perhaps I'll review it here when I'm done, who knows.
Also, why the hell is my Internet going so slow? It's annoying :( I still have to finish updating and unpacking my backup from reformatting. I guess I should get to doin that now... Good bye.
