Bad mouse.(cleaning)

If you have any IPA keep it away from Chav. We used to get it at work but now we get the wipes. Mind you that gel they have on hostpital words would work as well.
 
Gary, call round sometime when you are passing and I will lend you a wireless optical mouse to try. You will buy one after trying it I am sure. You can sit in bed with your laptop and use the mouse on top of the duvet/sheet.

My lap top is no more, it was too old to take broad band.

Thanks for the offer though.:)
 
Technology these days...back in my day all we had was chalkboards and chalk

kids these dayy, they dont know there born ;)
 
No laptop is 'too old' to take broadband. I can set it up an anything from an old 286(Most of probably don't even know what this is! 286 became 386 became 486 became Pentium became pentium2 became pentium 3 became pentium 4 etc) one if I wanted to
 
I'm up for the challange. OK to go through my linux box or would you like a direct PPP connection?

How much RAM in it? (K)

Considering we used to connect using modems that you pushed a telephone handset into it should be a piece of cake!

640k I think without checking. And I want to use it as an email server please. It has one of those hard drive that sound like a demented bugie in it, mfm or something I think they were (it is a long time ago and my long term memory is failing due to age and alcohol). Do you have any 8 bit ISA network cards?
 
we have a couple of old 8086's at work which are used to spoof a host(mainframe) response on ATM testing. I'm sure we have some network cards knocking about.

What sort of throughput you looking for? Max attachment size etc? You do realise it will be cli only?
 
sorry folks but what has this to do with cleaning a mouse if you want to start on about broadband please start a thread in the right section thankyou
 
flippin heck Mick, it is in Crash Computers, and is far less of a thread wander than is the norm on here!
 
My fault I'm afraid.....Mick wanted to visit the Stag at 2pm, but cos I was going to football I made him wait till after it had finished. Sorry.
 
what is the point of a wireless keyboard? I don't get it. A wireless optical mouse would be a must for me if I din't have my trackball, I couldn't be bothered with wires dragging everywhere, it drives me mad.
 
The point of my wireless keyboard is simple - anybody else using the PC can simply pass it over to me for me to key in a password to permit them to access a site if I wish to allow them to do so.;)

Carefully dusted with talc so They can tell what keys you used and then crack it at their leisure :)

Thats not very techie Ian. I would have at least expected a 2nd wireless receiver so all key stokes can be monitor by the next door nieghbours
