@jk I always wondered how that mouse type thing worked :o

@Mycroft it's really bad, the rest of the laptop is apparently built very well but the mouse is a bit wacky, it's just a conductive strip with a brush inside which uses the changing resistance to measure the distance of the mouse from the laptop. it wears out after just a few years, and also is shitty to use! i guess people that still own these prefer to just use MS-DOS anyway
