I wrote this a few weeks ago, and didn't think anyone was reading my blog. A couple of friends have asked for updates so here it is. The next update will tell of some major organizing that is happening. Finally we have progress! Still - what to do with dead computer mice?
We use a laptop that has so many problems that it has become a desktop. The screen is dead so it's hooked up to a monitor. The track pad has problems so we use a mouse. We have too many pictures on it so I'm looking at external hard drives. It has other issues as well, but it is all we have to use at the moment.
When the mouse died yesterday I was really frustrated. Last evening I went to Walmart and bought a mouse; it was tough choosing one from their many options, but I settled on a wireless mouse. Unfortunately, it doesn't work! I spent about an hour I trying to fix the problem, and finally gave up. The website for the mouse has no options for using tab and enter to get to where you want to go. No mouse? No mouse directions! Ha! It's going to get returned.
Since it was too late to go shopping for another mouse I set out to look for one in the house. The most logical place was in a box of cords and small electronic devices. I found mice alright! I tried every single one of them, except for the one with the serial port since this computer isn't that old. Every mouse was broken. I now have a dead mouse graveyard.
Please tell me if you know where I can recycle the dead mice. My trash goes out on Saturday this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
