Ok, it's not a power tool, but it is a tool of the trade. My trackball gave out on me so I had to get a replacement. I just got myself a fancy pants cordless wheel mouse, and boy, it's neat. Ok, so the cordless feature is kind of useless, but it's sort of cool, it's a little cleaner looking, and the price difference wasn't much. Besides, I'm worth it. What's got me excited is the wheel-button. This is really slick for surfing the internet or scrolling and zooming around the screen. I know they've been out for quite a while, but if someone had raved about it like I'm doing now, I'd have bought one sooner!
Sounds good, but what will save it if it decides to 'bungy jump' off the desk? What brand is it? I tried a MS wheel mouse but it conflicted with the trackpad on my notebook.

It's a "Logitech Cordless MouseMan Wheel" mouse. Nothing will save it from bungee jumping off the desk, short of attaching a cord to prevent that.
I'm not in a habit of knocking things off my desk, but having said that, I'm sure it will become a daily routine.
Had one. Lost it. They should make them neon green (like my measuring tape) or ring when I call it from my second line (like my cordless phone).

Hey all, I got a Trackman marble with the Wheelie bars on it, don't know it I like the wheel just yet, I aint used to it yet I guess.
But after the trackball, I cant imagine myself buying another mouse...I never seem to have enuff room to move it around...
Anyway, just my 2cents worth...
Later, and bring on the Snow!!
