I have EBay Elbow. It results from too much time spent shopping on the internet.

I have a trackpoint mouse (that little nub in the middle of the keyboard) and it always strains my elbow (well, index finger too) after I use it for too long. Sigh. Life is so hard!

Trackpoint mice are the absolute stupidest fucking things ever invented. They feel like sandpaper and they give you index-finger cramps like no other.

IT GIVES ME SO MANY PHYSICAL PROBLEMS, NO JOKE. Definite index-finger cramps but even worse is the sore elbow. That shit is really ridiculous.

But conceptually, it's pretty good. For me at least, it's a lot more intuitive and efficient than a touch pad (I have one of those too though). But I think that's just a matter of being used to it. The next computer I get is going to be a Mac, so I won't even be tempted to use the goddamn trackpoint!!

Okay Kev, shut up with your logic!!

Actually, I have a mouse, but I forgot where it is right now, and how do you think I can multi-task for example, with a mouse? THINK ABOUT IT

i love those nubs.

i cant use a damn touch pad. i think touch pads were invented by fags who were scared of the clit.

in other news, i got new pants jackie!!!! and shoes.
lea chose them, i bought them, and the gay guy at gap saved me $40 on two pairs of pants. he had such a crush.
but whats to be expected when you're THIS hot....even if I was wearing mom-bought pants at the time.

k trackpoint mice make the most sense of any pointing device (more than mice) because your hand is already resting on the keys. Just fiddle with the sensitivity and you'll never get cramps (the rough ones do suck though).

Second to the trackpoint comes the Razer Copperhead - one hell of a $80 mouse.
Works on a fucking mirror.

K thanks,

bye
