I remember that I actually joined one of the versions of Acmlm's Board for the RPG stuff, but I didn't have a lot to contribute because I didn't know a lot about rom hacking and the like, and I lost interest quickly.

When I first found this place via the TCRF Wiki I thought it was Acmlm's board and tried to look for my old account. :specialed:

I made the mistake of looking closely at my computer mouse... ugh, how did it get that bad? (Especially the scroll wheel, which is all strange) I guess I need a new one, but that's such a pain...

I managed to get a cheap $20 wireless mouse at Best Buy after my last one died, so it shouldn't cost that much if you know where to look.

Price is not necessarily my concern- all I need is a cheap wired mouse (since it sits on my desk all the time it seems unnecessary to get something that needs batteries), those should be easy enough to find. It's more just that since I don't have a car and my bicycle is kind of not usable, getting to the store is kind of a long walk- among the most petty of complaints, I admit.

No no no, it's understandable. Unless it's close, walking to a store to get a new mouse seems like too much effort. Just do a quick cleaning job on it and it should last a bit longer.

I got a Logitech G500 from Amazon because all of my mice are cheap and keep breaking within a few months. It's awesome. It comes with weights and you can have a maximum weight of 27 grams. It also has a maximum DPI of 5,700, which is INSANE. £30, not bad.

I'm still using a nearly 6-year old keyboard and mouse set that uses PS/2 ports. No problems here.

I think my wireless mouse is on it's way out. Poor thing, I only dropped it like 8 times over the summer moving my computer around...

@Arp I think mine's on that route too. Except it instead gets slammed under everything it's packed with.

I'm starting to think of Tumblr as kind of like a "Geocities 2.0": Dynamic content WITH the gif backgrounds and auto-playing music on many pages!

I was at the convenience store on campus earlier this morning and the only mouse they had (I was actually surprised they had any at all...) was a PS/2 mouse...

My laptop doesn't even have a PS/2 port.

I'm using a 22 year old keyboard made by ZEOS (which became Micron PC (which became MPC (which went out of business))) which is of the clicky type, alongside a slowly dying 5-6 year old Trackman wheel Logitech product.

The mouse is USB, while the keyboard is an old big DIN-5 PS/2 thing that required a converter just to use.

Damn son. I thought I was hardcore for using a keyboard made 10 years ago.

I had an MPC laptop for a while. I never knew that they used to be Micron

My keyboard is only a few months old. My mouse dates back to 2009-ish, though.

I had a keyboard made 10 years go for my main, but I typed on it so much I wore holes in the keys and destroyed the letters. Not that I use the letters.

This keyboard is a bit more heavy duty (and seems to weigh 10+ lbs) so hopefully it will take my abuse a lot better than the old one did. 90 WPM all day long seems to rip through lesser keyboards.

I figured out what you meant after thinking, but for some reasons my first interpretation for "I don't use the letters" was "I type everything as ASCII codes and therefore only need the numpad".

I could do the ASCII code thing if I wanted to (I certainly could memorize it after a while) but that'd just drive me insane and move about 1/4 my current speed. :p
