[CS-FSLUG] QOTW: Mice

[Christopher l Rose]

I honestly don't know who made my trackball. I once tried to call the technical support number on the backside of it only to find myself connected to an adult telephone chat server. Suffice to say, the company that made my particular trackball is probably out of business
This unfortunately means that I am tech support for my particular piece of hardware (don't know my cpu manufacturer's name either for that matter, oh well)!

In Christ,

Christopher

>The MX 700 is my favorite by far. Logitech makes great mice. :-)
