A Mouse Pad That Makes A Difference</h1> <div class="date">Monday, April 14, 2008 | Articles | Read or Post Comments</div> <p>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. </p> </div> <a name="read"></a>  <div class="wrapper_comments"> <h3>Reader Comments (5)</h3> <div class="frame_comments_one"> <p><strong>Tasha</strong> said:</p> <p>my Girlfriend swears by the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/mac360-20/detail/B000E0TJL2/103-1790895-6545444">Razor Exactmat</a>, 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. </p> <div class="posted">#1 | Saturday, April 19, 2008</div> </div> <div class="frame_comments_two"> <p><strong>Kate Mac</strong> said:</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Maybe I should do a review on different mice. </p> <div class="posted">#2 | Saturday, April 19, 2008</div> </div> <div class="frame_comments_one"> <p><strong>dan</strong> said:</p> <p>people still use mice?<br /> doesn’t each laptop come w/ a trackpad?<br /> today, aren’t most of the machines laptops? </p> <div class="posted">#3 | Thursday, May 1, 2008</div> </div> <div class="frame_comments_two"> <p><strong>lunch eater</strong> said:</p> <p>Apple doesn’t sell ‘laptops.’ Apple sells ‘notebooks’. There’s a difference. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>Until the Mac can read my mind the mouse and keyboard are here to stay. </p> <div class="posted">#4 | Thursday, May 1, 2008</div> </div> <div class="frame_comments_one"> <p><strong>Richmond Mathewson</strong> said:</p> <p>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. </p> <div class="posted">#5 | Friday, May 30, 2008</div> </div> <div class="paginate"> </div> </div> <a name="post"></a> <form id='comment_form' method="post" action="http://pixobebo.com/index.php/pixonomy/comments/wow_a_mouse_pad_that_makes_a_difference/" > <div class='hiddenFields'> <input type="hidden" name="ACT" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="RET" value="http://pixobebo.com/index.php/pixonomy/comments/wow_a_mouse_pad_that_makes_a_difference/" /> <input type="hidden" name="URI" value="/pixonomy/comments/wow_a_mouse_pad_that_makes_a_difference/" /> <input type="hidden" name="PRV" value="pixonomy/preview" /> <input type="hidden" name="XID" value="a58b5d5299997d4bf4039d350370e62ec88b8416" /> <input type="hidden" name="entry_id" value="32" /> <input type="hidden" name="site_id" value="1" /> </div> <h3>Add A Comment</h3> <div class="frame_comments"> <p>Your name:</p> <input type="text" id="name" name="name" value="" size="40" /> <p>Your email address (required):</p> <input type="text" id="email" name="email" value="" size="40" /> <p>Your location:</p> <input type="text" id="location" name="location" value="" size="40" /> <p>Your home page:</p> <input type="text" id="url" name="url" value="http://" size="40" /> <p>Add your comment below:</p> <textarea name="comment" cols="60" rows="10"></textarea> <p><input type="checkbox" class="buttons" name="save_info" value="yes" /> Remember my personal information!
