Increase the cursos speed in the logitech driver and turn on the pointer smoothing in Windows. It should help. I switched to a trackball myself after using regular mouse for 20 years. It's got a really steep learning curve but after a month, I'm comfortable and fast with the tracking and the buttons. Mines got the ball on the top, so pointer and middle figner moves it. Thumb-ball is a bit more difficult I think. My wrist is very happy since the switching.

Thanks for the tips. I've already increased the pointer speed (a little; too much and I never can land on target). I haven't down loaded the Logitech driver yet.

 

You aren't kidding about a really steep learning curve! The trackballs I've used in the past (and never get used to) were the big ones with the ball on top. I'm already already doing a bit better with this one but I'm still going nuts trying to use it. If you see me post jibberish later to day, you will know the track ball won and I'm ready for the rubber room.

One of these to use as my cold storage backup to leave in my fireproof box

I hope you also have an offsite copy of your data. Fireproof safe aren't really fire proof; they are fire resistant. They are ated by how long it takes in a fire before the contents reach a certain temperature. Up to 350 degrees for 30 minutes is a typical rating. Wile this is enough to protect paper documents, electronics will not fare as well.

 

Also, fire resistant safes often have a problem with condensation inside unless they get aired out every two weeks.

Thank you for your concern, but yes, I'm already aware of this and I do have an off-site copy. This is to replace my original solution of DVD-Rs and a cheap thumb stick

 

And I don't really care for being exact about lexical terms.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

You should if you want to be understood.

 

I'm glad you have the offsite backup. You appear to have your bases covered.

..... mean while the local McDonald's is wondering where there burger bun shelf went ?

Question is, what were you doing at a McDonalds in the first place.

Second question is, what were you doing behind a McDonalds.

Third question is did you eat there.

 

There are a ton of stuff stores leave unsecured for days and weeks and months. Manual pallet jacks, fork lifts, shelving, crates, pallets. Lots of good steel and good stuff just being "thrown" away ;) so its technically recycling. ? good for our earth!

That's merely your opinion. How could you know that Yurizaki knew the difference between fire proof and fire resistant? Or that fire resistant safes have condensation problems? Or that he had an offsite backup? Are you a mind reader? More likely you just made some assumptions.

Irrelevant. In the context of what fireboxes are used for, the point is moot.

Irrelevant. He/she showed off a purchase and the point of that purchase.

No, I didn't make assumptions based on the original post. I thought to myself "cool" and promptly moved on. I didn't make a pompous ass of myself over the choice of a single word that has no effect on the context of a conversation.

This tape... has some interesting history behind it because it signaled what the company behind the release was trying to do.

In 1992, Warner Music Group purchased a 50% stake into Rhino Records. Sometime after that, the company changed its name from Rhino Records to Rhino Entertainment Company. In 1998, WMG purchased the rest of Rhino. Not long after that, they would acquire the distribution rights to some of Sunbow Entertainment's 80s shows, namely Transformers G1, G.I. Joe and Jem and the Holograms. This was the first Transformers tape they released onto the market in late 1999.

 

Oh yeah and I just received it in the mail yesterday. It's in damn near pristine condition.

I've purchased a new caterpillar watch and it's really awesome. The model is Cat DU54 (Stainless). The design is just awesome and the movement is good for such a low price. They have a good shop for buying wrist watches online. I already have two Caterpillar watches and both of them are awesome.

Sliced upper Gore-Tex part of one of the gaiters with crampons while climbing mixed terrain last weekend -.-"

 

At least my pants were safe and the fix is easily done with those patches :)

Bought a 2nd Gigabyte RX VEGA 64 Gaming OC because mismatched cards don't look good and irked the hell outta me, the PowerColor RX VEGA 64 Red Devil didn't quite look bada$$ with the reference VEGA 64. Since I had a hard time getting a 2nd Red Devil at a good price, I decided to go with two Gigabyte cards, now all is right in the world.?

I orderred a cheap Kingston A400 SSD on Black Friday, 60USD asking price for a 480GB SSD was just too good to resist. Yes, fully aware this is a budget SSD not built for speed, I don't care, it's cheap!!!

Picked this up today as an upgrade for the SNES PC. Little dusty as it was used for mining for a couple months earlier this year, but otherwise good condition. Not complaining since it was only $120, when they're still going for over $220 CAD brand new. ;)
