It's obvious you haven't tried the duct tape method of fixing thigs. It would be a lot faster and more productive.

Duct tape? Sounmds too much like hard work. I prefer the 'hit it until it submits' method of repairing stuff like TVs, with a hammer if necessecary...

And the PC made it a functional concept by adding more buttons. If you can't handle the brain processes necessary to use multi-button mice, perhaps you're better off using a Mac. Or AOL.<br><br>[Just joking around, no offense intended to any Mac users here, only pity and guilt :-P]
