Post by: Rman on April 29, 2009, 06:45:13 PM: My work PC mouse is on its last legs and I wanted to know if you guys have any recommendations. My company will just let me expense it; they really don't care about the price.

Yes, USB ball mice pretty much come standard with the machines Dell sells refurbished.

Post by: ToxicAdam on April 30, 2009, 12:15:05 AM: This topic may have been done to death, but who were the first nerds? I was reading a Wired article about fans of Sherlock Holmes that used to write fan-fiction back in the late 1800's. I think they would even gather at social parties and exchange stories.
