LOL! "Happy" Valentines Day...



  • Okay, I bought one of these mice and was trying to track down the user's guide because the "quick-start" guide that came with it was hopeless.  So I ran across this site and found their concept of a "sale" quite amusing.  You be the judge...

     



  • And they even thoughtfully provide "You Save: $0.00 (0%)"[:P]

    That's handy for those who can't calculate percentages.

    Which brings up another image in my mind:

    <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #808080">Me: Happy Valentine's Day, hon. [hands gift] Go on, open it!</FONT>

    <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #808080">Wife: [Seeing a box about the right size for jewelry] Oh, thank you, thank you! [opens] Uh, here why don't you take it. You're going to need it for all the Internet porn you'll be looking at for the next month...</FONT>

    <font size="5">S</font>o, what was the gift?  A mini-box of tissues?  A small, cordless mouse?  A tin of Dilbert mints.

    First of all, sorry about the gray background. I meant for the text to be gray.

    Second, I was referring to the mouse. Why would I need Dilbert mints to look at Internet porn? (Don't let your imagination run away with you...)

     



  • Dont' want to be rude but looking for a User-Guide to a mouse (cordless or not) is a WTF in itself

    (You should try the little connect buttons on the back of the mouse and on the receiver)



  • No offense taken, but this is my third wireless optical mouse, and all of them work differently in how to put the mouse to "sleep" for transport.  I had to figure it out by trial and error (hold down the sync button for 5 seconds).



  • BTW, the whole aversion to "asking for directions" (whether it's a male or engineer trait) has always baffled me - and I'm both male and an engineer.  If I can figure out something quickly by RTFM, why waste time?  My brain is already too full of useless trivia to remember the intricacies of every device I own.
