I've used much much worse. The original IBM PS/1 mouse comes to my mind as an absolute piece of garbage. <http://liquidninja.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ IBM_PS2_mouse.jpg> I got it with the machine when I was 12 but it didn't take long before it felt sluggish and unresponsive. Of course, I didn't have the habit of cleaning the inside of a mouse back then. -- SilverSlimer FSF Contributor / EFF Member / Free speech advocate Absolute centrist, proud Catholic
