Oh, my error.
Well, should I pull it?
I didn't see that on the mobile (small screen) I was using originally, but yes, on my laptop, there it is.

I tried recreating this with Algodoo but at 10,000,000,000kg the box fell through my laptop screen, through the desk, through the floor and now I get repeating echoes from the hole that seem to emulate the frequency of pi.

*promote some *quality tech, but that's a silly application.
Roll up screens are best used on mobile devices not ridiculous high end TV gimmicks, imo.
Show me the prototype iPhone 15 that is the size and weight of a fountain pen until you unroll it to full tablet size, or a laptop that rolls up to the size of a large cigar....then I'll feel like it's the future.

I sent this once but I checked PRIVATE and it seems I sent it to myself.

Your timing is impeccable! I'm laying in a tub of warm water ready to slit my wrists and tip my laptop into the tub with me.

You... you saved my LIFE!

I can never repay you for this.

Actually, had you not mentioned it, I never would have noticed.

But thanks for being worried about it. It would take way more than one negative vote to reduce the respect you have earned from me.

*fist bump*

Thanks, for some reason I saw MD on the car. Probably my crappy laptop screen.

I actually used an old Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 from 2003 today -- it's in my laptop bag for those times when the trackpad just doesn't cut it.

Still works pretty well. The button hardware switches are a bit old and some of them produce signals that are too noisy for the signal bounce processing chips to filter out. So, the wheel button registers a single click as a double basically 100% of the time (PITA when using it to open new tabs in a browser), and the "forward" button does the same 50% of the time (much less frequently an issue). Not half bad for 15 year old hardware, really.

After these phased out of popularity, I switched loyalties to Logitech and then more recently Razer. But the hand feel of the chassis (which will be the exact same for this reboot version) of the Explorer was really quite excellent. Might have to look for one!
