       @SDF Love that text. I remember seeing it when I started using OpenBSD around the 5.x days before they switched it to the Spleen font. 😊

       @SDF Reminds me of the Computer Center Workstation Facility at UT in the late 80s.  The ccwf machines were all named after classic Disney characters, and if you got one you spent a few seconds every hour of work moving the gridded pad back to the place you needed it.  Once the the Sparcstations arrived, you wanted one of those instead of the Sun 3. Of course, I spent most of my time logged in remotely, so I wasn't using a mouse.

       @SDF I remember that mouse, and that pad, and that OS. Had Sun gear on my desk from mid-late 90s until 2005 or so. 👍🏻

       @SDF Those things were awful. I don’t miss them for a second.

       @SDF They made a much much nicer replacement for those.  Bleh they were literally what chased me off the platform to NeXT.
