Re: CRAP Poll: My Mouse Is...

#4 -- Optical simple mouses (2 buttons + 1 scrollwheel) with PS/2 and
#USB connections. PS/2 because I still use my OmnniCube KVM from Y2K!

So I won't take too long on the intro for this one. This time, let's
focus on your mouse. You know, that wiggly lil' plastic gadget beneath
your hand. Let's describe it!

Please answer the following question. My mouse is:

   1) ...Top of the line! It has more buttons than my keyboard!

   If I can't do it with my mouse, it can't be done by any
   mouse.

   3) ... A high-end regular mouse; more than the usual 3-buttons
   and perhaps an above-average DPI. I'm a good office worker!

   got a scroll-wheel! What else could a mouse have?

   9) ... A trackball! (or some alternate pointing device,

   command line

   11) ... What's a mouse? I move the cursor by inputting the
   coordinate deltas manually!

Myself, I fall firmly into category 3, with my stylish and comfortable
Logitech mouse. Six buttons, although I almost never use any but the
main two. (well, more accurately -given my habit of collecting useless
electronics- I have a multitude which spans almost the entire list.
But my primary mouse -the one I most often use- is as boring as
described above).

So describe your mouse? Do you let your hand wallow in luxury with the
highest-end pointing device available, or tempt carpal tunnel with
something that only vaguely resembles a mouse? The compilers of CRAP
poll data need a response!
