- oh, quit bragging so loud... ;)
Well, err... I have a _MicroVAX_ 3100/m38, with a vt320. *duck* ;)
- Ohh, you're just asking for it... To the moon!
- What's
with the mice with two wierd looking button
things, instead
of a ball?
Pretty simple, really. The "button things" spin. Depending on
which axis the mouse is following, one or the other button will
do the spinning because of the way they're tilted. Nice design. I
like them much better than ball mice.
It seems most people do. Even in my pile of "spare" mice, I only
have one of those. I also have the one on my m38, which was
originally a ball mouse, but got replaced.
- Pretty neat! (After I'm done playing with the "thingies" on my
mouse...)

- Interesting...
One of perhaps two I've seen like that. I don't know whether to
replace the casing with one that's got the AUI port, or keep it
this way for the novelty.
I'd keep it as-is, for the novelty and rarity of it...
