10/15   Anyone have experience with cleaning logitech trackman keys?
        The thumb button if very flakey.  Blowing air into it (after i
        opening the case) seems to only fix the problem for a little bit.
        Am I better off just buying a new one? (* Its only about 3 years old *)
        There is no info on the logitech site about this issue.

4/19    After installing Logitech wireless mouse, my friend cannot connect from
        his PC to his wireless broadband router via a USB wireless network
        device.  It said that it cannot obtain IP address from the router.  Even
        uninstalling the Logitech wireless mouse doesn't help.  Do you know how
        to fix the wireless LAN problem, so that his PC can obtain IP address
        again?

        \_ The comment says "its the logitech quickcam orbit MP with a robotic
           camera head thats also really cool, because it actually moves and
           follows you and keeps you zoomed in if you move around the room."

11/11   What's a better game, GTA Vice City or GTA III?
        \_ If I ever get past that damn RC airplane task Vice City might be
           better.
           \_ this mission is much more fun once you connect a gamepad to
              your PC.  I recommend the Logitech wireless rumble one.
        \_ IMO, though each of VC and SA have been technically better than "3",

5/16    Does anybody else think that optical mouse don't track as
        well as a good old (clean) mechanical rolling ball mouse?
        \_ yes they skip when I play mouse intensive games.
        \_ Any of the Microsoft optical mice that advertise scanning at
           6,000 times per second (~ 1-2 years old now) are fine.  The ones

2/25    Looking for a webcam that is Mac-compatible and preferably comes with
        an easy to use software that lets you save a snap shot every 3-4
        seconds to the HD so that I can put it on the web site. Again it's
        gotta be Mac-compatible (my Logitech QuickCam 3000 doesn't come with
        supported Mac drivers, and the free unsupported SourceForge driver
        crashes after about 10 minutes). Thanks.

9/29    Which webcam should I get for easy use with linux (Debian)?
        \_ Get a webcam that outputs normal NTSC composite, get a BT848/
           BT87[89] based board.  Done.
           \_ There must be a better solution.  This adds at least $50,
              requires opening the case, and had an unnecessary D->A->D stage.

        \_ What does "Kool-Aid" refer it in this case?
                      \_ iPod/iPod Mini, but it is usually used as a generic
                         term for any cool apple product (not that there are
                         any un-cool apple products)

3/8     Can someone recommend a good 3 button mouse for PC hardware?
        Is there any reason to favor USB over PS2?  Price not an issue.
        \_ Microsoft Intellimouse Optical (Retail).  It has two more buttons
           that you'll use a lot for going Back or Forward in web pages.
           Look, Amazon is selling it for $23.84, no tax!  It's an upgrade
           from a year ago, it captures 6,000 images per second, which you'll

10/28   Has anyone else noticed that if you type :) very quickly on a
        Microsoft natural keyboard, sometimes the ) will get dropped. This has
        been the case for my last 3 keyboards...
        \_ You need to spend less time on AIM.
