Mouse

My mouse was worn out, the left button would double click on it's own occasionally, the center wheel only worked in one direction, and the right button had to be pressed sideways to work. But the thought of crawling through the dust bunnies and toe jam made me put up with it, even though I had several spare mice.

Saturday afternoon the PC wouldn't come up, it would get part way and stop. I figured out it must be the mouse but it wasn't. The Waber strip my brother gave me a couple years ago had failed. It was from Staples and when whatever was plugged into the master outlet was turned off, it would turn all the other outlets off. That was very convenient to have the monitor, speakers, scanner, etc, power down when the PC turned off. I think I'll get another one.

Anyway, a fully functional mouse is glorious, I now realize what a pain in the ass it was.
