I'm trying to not be gulible, but can someone shed some light on this:
http://www.openofficemouse.com/pr110609.html I notice that there is no Sun or OOo logos, so it really does not look official.

It exists and it seems to work. I talked to the guy that invented the mouse. The mouse be used with other software too of course and yes it had a lot of buttons and even a thumb joystick at the left side.

I started out with one registering company and them moved a few times till if found the best one for me, and for a better price. Same for web hosting companies. I have had one of my domains out there for over 15 years and moved it 4+ times as prices and service change. So the year-by-year basis is not a telling point. I currently use a monthly billing for my web hosting company, since I did not have the full yearly fee that month.

Obviously, then, the mouse story is not a spoof and I stand corrected, but for the present I think I'll just stick with my three-buttoned versions.... Henri |

I once ran into somebody who had two 5 button mice in their *Nix system. Each mice had a different set of commands. jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@...
