I will bring back the thread!

 

This is more or less a missing link in the evolution of mice.

Patriot also made a mouse with 2 scroll wheels a couple of years ago but i don't really see the point of having 2 scroll wheels on a mouse.

I don't have a pic of this, as it happened a long time ago, but you can picture this pretty vividly.

 

I worked at an engineering firm using real honest to god IBM systems (not Lenovo branded, IBM branded) in a desktop configuration.

Mine was running rather hot (exhaust from power supply) so I figured I'd open the case and clean it out.

Well, at the time, IBM used some funky screws that couldn't be opened by normal tools. but I had a co-worker who was an air force tech and had the right tools.

So he brings it in the next day, and we take the desktop outside whereupon he opens the top.

 

Inside, you could not see any of the parts for the massive layer of dust covering *everything*

We had a good laugh at why the system was overheating, and pulled out the air compressor and proceeded to create a tornado of dust.

Once that was cleared out, we looked inside, to find an ancient (quite large) pretzel stick sandwiched between two PCI slots.

Given that the system hadn't been opened ever before, we figured the assembly person had put it there before closing up the case (and painting the screws shut) for shipping.

 

Good for a laugh all afternoon.

Amusing. I believe there was a Barbie-themed one as well
