Title: They just don't make them like they used to...
Post by: KillerWatt on 22 August 2009, 16:54:31
What's happened to build quality???

A £130 (at the time) keyboard & mouse set, and it can't even take a slap when something goes wrong.

Replaced it with the MX3200 Laser.....time will tell if the build quality is more substantial on that one.

By virtue of the fact it says "Designed to work with Microsoft Windows" on the box, that alone should be enough to indicate what stresses they will endure  ;D

Always have had a volatile temper, although it's much better these days thanks to the nice doctors at the Maudsley  ;)

Apparently they don't like to take the surgery road if they can make the modifications with chemicals, although I reckon they only said that to placate me because they couldn't find a brain to start with.

I hear Cyanide is quite effective, ask them to try that! ;)

Anyhow I always prefer a bottle infrontome than a frontal lobotomy!

With my luck I would get a bit plastic or something sticking into my Knee.
Use a big Axe you dont need much effort to let it drop but watch your fingers. (or shin in my case, it makes driving to the hospital to have it removed a little problematic )
