Just keep scrolling then. Sometimes when I get back to this page I would have to go through 10 pages of stuff.

Checked back a few days to make sure I didn't already post this one. I posted this at the W.A.S.T.E. Facebook page the day "Shadow Ticket" came out.

Those that know, know:

A 200 page manual on how to install the mouse driver to the OS, manually modifying the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. After restarting the PC it should then probably work…..
Is that where ‘manual’ comes from; ‘manually’ doing stuff?

They often included all the low level details of their interface so you could write your own driver if you were using an unsupported OS too, before there was a standard mouse interface. Most don't even put that level of detail online now, and online wasn't an option for many back then.

By the power of Internet, I present to you a PDF copy of aforementioned manual. Things were different back then.

Beside this general introduction, this manual has four main divisions, or books:
• An installation guide for the full LOGITECH Mouse line.
• A user's guide to LOGITECH PLUS software
• A user's guide to M123, the Point & Click Shell.
• The POINT Editor User's Manual, with tutorial and reference chapters.

Haha... I never reply to this thread's stuff but your comment made me laugh and chuckle. Too funny.

AI is so grand it has advanced to the stage where it already has given the results of today's stock market action thusly:

… Fluorescent tubing was dimmed in light trading …
… Knives were up sharply …
… Hiking equipment was trailing …
…Helium was up …
… Mining equipment hit rock bottom …
…Elevators rose …
… Feathers were down …
… Escalators continued in slow decline…
… Weights were up in heavy trading …
… Pencils lost a few points …
… Diapers remained unchanged …
… Ballon prices were inflated…
… The raisin market dried up …
… Paper was stationary …
… Toilet paper touched a new bottom ….

Reminds me of a joke of my long late grandmother, so it's probably a century old:

A rich and very jealous man ordered a huge, luxury oak cupboard. It had to be carried in as parts and assembled by a team. Initially all was well, but after a few months the cupboard had developed a loud creak sound. But, even more annoyingly for the wife (which, contrary to her husband, was at home most of the time), it happened only when the tram was passing. So a worker came to look at it, and sat in the cupboard to locate the creak, when unexpectedly the husband came. He opened the cupboard to hang up his coat, and saw the worker. WHAT are you doing here? he asked. Worker: I know it sounds absurd, but I'm just waiting for the tram.
