A Bouncing Mouse

A Bouncing Mouse

After the last post my wireless mouse fell - for the 187th time - off my chair arm, and this time it was fatal.  I go through mice almost as fast as I lose spectacles.  Ran up to Office Depot, and bought the cheapest optical they had.  Couldn't leave well enough alone.The check out guy said, "Need more memory?  We have some good prices."  I have 512K in my HP 573n, but I am so media oriented that I'm starting to have problems.  I bought another 512k strip.  So I don't get 57  comments saying ''you paid too much,'' I'll say that the price was $1.95.  Zoom, back to the house.  I don't claim to be a digerati, but I have built computers before.  Have you ever changed spark plugs in a Dodge Caravan?  That's what it was like - even finding the open memory strip socket. Normally I would take a picture of the wire-up before taking stuff apart, but MS took my camera to her sister's, so I had to rely on my steel trap memory.  Ahem. It was like those comedies where water comes out of the stove, and the toilet plays Mozart. Sheesh.  But, three hours later, here I am. I laid a strip of fluffy carpet beside the chair so the damn me will - maybe - have a soft landing.
