Wow! A Mouse Pad That Makes A Difference
Monday, April 14, 2008
My mouse pad died. Wherever old mouse pads go when they stop doing their job, mine went there. I’ve had my smiley face mouse pad for four or five years and it was showing it’s age with spastic, sporadic, almost arthritic like convulsions when tracking the mouse pointer across my Mac’s screen. I buried the old pad and went to search for another.

This is really odd as I have not used a mouse-pad since 1996; never could see the need for one; and that goes for Mac mice, and Logitech opticals.

Apple doesn’t sell ‘laptops.’ Apple sells ‘notebooks’. There’s a difference.
I’m surprised at how many notebook users still use a mouse plugged into their Macs. To be honest, I can run my Mac with a mouse much faster and more precise than anyone can run their Mac with the trackpad.
Until the Mac can read my mind the mouse and keyboard are here to stay.

people still use mice?
doesn’t each laptop come w/ a trackpad?

I’m surprised at how many people have very specific mouse pads, some of them very expensive. I thought $7 was plenty. Of course, I could buy a mouse for about $8 on sale, but prefer the Apple Mighty Mouse instead.
Maybe I should do a review on different mice.

my Girlfriend swears by the Razor Exactmat, the Aluminum base that has a mousing surface attached to both sides. One for fine work and one suited for less subtile things. She loves it, though the wrist rest drove her batty.
