A new mouse. Wheee!

Over the past few months I've been having trouble with my computer's smiley - mouse. This week it finally gave up the ghost and failed to communicate with the computer in any way, so I just took it down the old coach house. They were busy doing some programming, so I had to leave it for an hour, but when I went back they said it didn't work at all, so I bought a new one. The old mouse had a PS2 plug, so they sold me a new one also with a PS2 plug so as not to waste a USB port.

"What USB port?" I didn't ask.

Anyhow, I can once again point and click with the best of them, but I keep reaching for the keys by mistake.

I like my new mouse. They clearly had it marked out as mine because it's got "genius" written on it.

The previous one must have been getting on a bit. I think it came with the computer, which came with Windows 98.
