So not much

August 11, 2000 by Michael Boyle

writing today. I’ve been finishing a long net research thing at work, though I did come home to work on it. So I could play around on this new machine, mostly.

The observant will notice it’s not the most recent generation – it’s a couple months older – which is cool, cause it was a bargoon. But I got the stinking hockey puck mouse, not the new optical mouse. I lasted one day with the damn thing – and picked up a Logitech wheel mouse to replace it. I think it’s better than the Apple mouse – I’m used to two buttons and use contextual menus all the time when I have one (like at work).

I’m sure that’s more detail than anyone needs about my computer hardware situation… but it’s already got me thinking of things I’d avoided doing just cause it took so much longer before!
