One man's trash is another man's treasure --Folk saying

Ah, the round mouse that was introduced with the original iMac, and was subsequently hated by millions.

Only two people willingly still use the hockey-puck-shaped mouse.

"Do you sell any replacements for this?" "No, sir."

"I love it," he said. "I want to get another one. It is so anti-establishment."

The second person is a lady whose sone bought her an original iMac. She concedes that the mouse isn't the most ergonomic one on the market, but she continues to use it, because "we humans can get used to anything. I'm sure I'll get used to this. Besides, I don't want to hurt my son's feelings."

Everyone other Mac user replaced the Hockey Puck mouse immediately with a better mouse or trackball... (and sometimes, they also replaced the keyboard with equal swiftness).

Eventually, most came to their senses and replaced the whole thing...

You said -- "One man's trash is another man's treasure --Folk saying"

Then why do you keep wanting me to use your trash PC? That's my question....

Now you are complaining about an antique product circa 1998... irrelelavant.
