I wonder...

I wonder what the Apple logo would look like next to the Harley logo on my truck.

Commodore 64 baby! I've got one of those, and a Commodore 128 up in the attic to play with. For everyday stuff, I've got an ancient (by computer standards) Compaq.

I personally love the optical mouse...no multiple buttons and wheels for me.

I'm talking about those mouse with no "mouse button". Instead of just tapping a tip of a finger, you have to PRESS it down with your whole palm. This takes getting used to. Also, it's a lot slower since there is greater inertia in your whole palm. So it kills the reflex time. Not very good for games.

Since my motherboard died last week, I'm now running my Sun Sparc 20 running Solaris 8. At least until I get a replacement..

My wife has an E-Machines Laptop, great machine!

You're not using it right

Regardless, a $5 or $15 mouse is hardly a reason to choose (or not choose) a computer. When my wife's mouse died (with the help of abuse from the kids) I went down and got a $15 replacement that had two buttons and a scroll wheel. I plugged it into the USB port on the keyboard and viola, the right button and scroll wheel worked automatically, with no software installation needed. I think it was a Kensington, but there are a ton of USB mice available.
