It's the little things.

It's the little things that can make a big difference.

The world is moving at such a pace it's easy to forget how the smaller improvements have made such a difference to our lives, take mice for example

No, not that sort of mouse, this sort

Not so long ago we were all using a roller ball mouse, what a performance they were, half the time there would be more cat fur in the mouse rather than the preferred option of mouse fur inside the cat , even when you had dismantled & cleaned all the moving parts clicking on the right spot was still a bit like Russian Roulette, I once drove a car all the way from London to the Costa Del Sol without insurance because without me realising when buying the on-line insurance the mouse has decided to jump from March to April meaning the car was fully insured for the month after I'd finished driving it, for me the optical mouse has made a vast difference, can you imagine the confusion on CS with peeps perving profiles by accident because the mouse decided to go for a wander, I'm sure everyone has their own favourite but can you honestly say yours has improved your life more than a decent mouse?

We do take these little things for granted, but I still remember taking the ball out of the mouse ( sounds painful, does it not) to clean it. grin

Has to be said having a decent mouse hasn't improved my typing laugh I still miss words out all over the place laugh rolling on the floor laughing
Psssssst clearly your keyboard is suffering from dyslexia, Z... but that's okay, at least it's not you. wink laugh
Z, maybe you need a bionic mouse, a cross between the top and bottom one. laugh
Yep, you got it right, you make an error and you blame the critter!laugh cheers
Abagail, quite so, the stupid keyboard should know what I want to say professor laugh
