Title: The Horror!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Titan on July 01, 2002, 07:43:54 AM: The scroll wheel/button on my mouse is broken. Now I need to scroll down pages by hand :eek:

I guess it\'s time for a new mouse. Maybe I\'ll get one of those optical mouses I\'ve heard so much about.

Post by: Titan on July 01, 2002, 07:51:01 AM: I\'m having a hell of a time trying to use the bar and arrows. I keep missing them and clicking something else. I also keep reaching for the wheel.

That\'s even worse. Now I end up on the bottom of the page :( Ah that\'s what I get for using the Gateway mouse. Even their mouses are crap. But they make good mousepads. I have the one they gave us when they sent us the computer. Has yet to fall apart.

I actually didn\'t know that until you mentioned it in another thread. :eek:

But I still prefer the mouse tho\'. :)

Post by: videoholic on July 01, 2002, 08:50:53 AM: Well I prefer the mouse as well, but in a pinch the space bar always works.

I didn\'t know about it until Logan kept hitting it on me.

It doesn\'t drop you to the bottom of the page, it pages down one page at a time.

Don\'t complain about the space bar. It\'s the only thing you have right now buddy.

Title: The Horror!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on July 01, 2002, 09:23:32 AM: I\'ve wondered so many times if optical cordless mouse is worth the money. Do they work fine? Are they OK for games (I mean exacts)?

Yeah, they work GREAT. Also for gaming. It\'s much better than the old kinds.

Yes? Then I\'ll purchase one of those very soon. My older mouse is a little tired. Thanx Samwise.

Post by: Rick on July 01, 2002, 09:41:49 AM: Best thing I ever bought, except the Porn subscription and the cheap dutch hooker :D

Only problem with the cordless ones is the batteries, need changin fairly frequently, got mine for £40, which was the same price as the optical mouse with a wire at that time.

Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on July 01, 2002, 09:45:09 AM: Do they use normal batteries? I live in a small village and strange batteries would be a problem for me...

It came from Microsoft? I don\'t like Microsoft\'s mice.

You could fix that problem with a hammer.

Post by: Titan on July 02, 2002, 12:39:18 PM: I was thinking about doing that. But my mom would notice that the mouse is in a thousand different pieces.

Post by: Big Log on July 02, 2002, 12:43:52 PM: Hmmmm. Well you could play with your ball...

*my diaper just doesn\'t hold as much as it use to*
Title: The Horror!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Titan on July 02, 2002, 12:51:49 PM: Then when someone uses the mouse, they would notice a giant weight difference :)

Post by: videoholic on July 02, 2002, 02:28:40 PM: WHOOO HOOOOO!!!!

I agree with Big Log. Play with your balls a little.

Post by: Bladez on July 02, 2002, 04:26:32 PM: Oh I thought you were talking about the horror movie that they are working on...Freddie Krueger Vs. Jason Vorhees:rolleyes: yes ladies and gentlemen in the near future there is going to be a movie that pits the sharp clawed man Vs. the hockey wearin\' mask man. It\'s going to be an "in depth" story. Ok, how can they have those 2 face each other when one appears when you sleep and the other is...alive/dead? I saw it on Entertainment Tonight and it looks ****ing retarded.:nut:

Sorry to get off subject.....sorry about your mouse Titan.:(
Title: The Horror!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Titan on July 02, 2002, 04:41:08 PM: My mom said that she would get it off ebay. Now she had one of those change of heart and now she refuses to buy it off ebay. "If it doesn\'t work, we\'ll have to send it back and after that, it will be 1/3 of the actual price. You might as well put it toward a new one." That is a god damn risk I\'m willing to take.

Post by: videoholic on July 02, 2002, 05:33:49 PM: Just go to best buy and buy a freaking mouse. They have rebates all the time..
Title: The Horror!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Fayded on July 02, 2002, 08:19:53 PM: Everything that I\'ve bought off ebay has worked just fine. When you do go on there try to find a sealed one, it will be cheaper than buying from a store but it will still be new.

Post by: Titan on July 03, 2002, 08:45:23 AM: I know. I\'ve been trying to tell my mom that. Oh I wish I had my own credit card.
