@foone Intaglio printing is not something the average counterfeiter will engage in. Microsoft hardware, especially in the 90s and 2000s, was pretty nice. I can see why they wanted to protect their brand from knockoffs.

@foone My go to opinion was that standardizing the mouse to int 3 was the last time they genuinely thought about what a power user wants from an operating system.

@jalefkowit I'm a trans woman, so my opinions on balls, especially my balls, may not necessarily be what you'd expect.

@jalefkowit no worries, I didn't take it as offensive, I just thought it was a good setup for joking about my being trans

@foone Realizing on seeing this post that the clunking sensation from lifting a ball mouse off the desk is still deeply ingrained in my muscle memory despite not having regularly used one in like 25 years. I can *feel* it.
