Three button mice are the best things ever. Why, barely a second goes by when I don't use that third button. It brings sexy joy to my sexy life.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

My mouse has four, and optical, and wireless, and when I command it to dance to my will it does, tirelessly!

I am behind in sound, video, CPU speed, and even case-attractiveness. But I try to keep at least one peripheral on the cutting edge.

Cutting!
Edge!

I put a lava lamp on my computer.
The sad thing is that it doesn't look particularly out of place.

my computer has a set of pointless pattern blinking LEDs attached to the side to make it look more powerful than it really is. Its the 'Wrath of Khan' in me.

I plan to engineer a neural interface to put away with these primitive methods of input.

you have to judge the individual program's merits tho.. Netscape 6 was buggy as hell when i DLed it.. i had to do a lot of reconfiguring just to get my computer to be able to sign online again after i used it... i hate a lotta MS apps too, but IE is my first choice for browsing.

Works in my Mozie...

Three button mice are the best things ever. Why, barely a second goes by when I don't use that third button. It brings sexy joy to my sexy life.

Actually, I can map that button to whatever I want. But I use it in Mozilla to open links in new windows instead of the existing one. Quite handy, actually. And it's REAL good in Jedi Outcast. I can map the left button to primary fire, the right button to secondary fire, and the middle button to force power. It's nice to be able to lift a stormtrooper into the air and chuck your sabre at him without moving your hand off the mouse.
