Ahh, I love my boss

Post #269,565 by broomberg 10/5/06 8:16:58 PM Reply	Ahh, I love my boss Well, not my boss, my boss's boss. You know, the VP in charge of the division. The one all the Directors report to. I called him on the way home - don't forget to bring in my ssh bounce box for the dmz - no proxy server for MY systems! His reponse - no problem. And I was just at Comp-USA. I picked you up 2 big track balls and a Gbit switch for your desktops. You need anything else? Me: Yeah, a phone. Him: Already ordered, should be in tomorrow or Monday. Oh: And he fed me a very nice lunch at a fancy italian restaurant. And my laptop came in today. Lenovo Core2 Duo CPU. Decent size screen while still being light. The only thing missing is my dual LCD monitors - to be ordered on Monday.

If you want it, you'll have to call. Price is at least $115 (that may have been for a non-lighted one), and they haven't sold many. Original use was on an X-ray machine, which was used in the dark, so the light provided feedback on what the operator was doing. BTW, industrial joysticks and trackballs have a wonderful feel to them - in a different class (in price and performance) from consumer models. --Tony

I remember football. how you would just flick the ball and then keep the ball rolling and rolling and roling until you got the touch down. Also some of the golf ones had 'em too. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.
