Friday's Question

Hi gang: Do you use a Mousepad? My reason for asking is that I've used a Mousepad ever since mice first came out (back when they had one ball). Now that mice are optical (no balls), Mousepads are not really needed -- or so I'll told by the college -- you see, they don't provide Mousepads for their student's computers. As such, I wondered what's the percentage of programmers still using a Mousepad? Secondly, are Mousepads used primarily by older programmers (like me) while younger programmers don't use Mousepads, or what? So -- please respond with: Age: * Mousepad: Yes/No Thank you, tedd PS: * If you don't want to provide your actual age, then indicate your age by stating "young", "middle-age", "old-age", "ancient", or whatever term describes your age. Alternate -- I claim that you can tell a man's age by ten-times the number of "personal products" he routinely uses, for example: Years Old - Personal Products 10 Toothpaste 20 Toothpaste, Deodorant 30 Toothpaste, Deodorant, Aftershave 40 Toothpaste, Deodorant, Aftershave, Minoxidil 50 Toothpaste, Deodorant, Aftershave, Minoxidil, Preparation-H 60 Toothpaste, Deodorant, Aftershave, Minoxidil, Preparation-H, Bag Bomb 70 Toothpaste, Deodorant, Aftershave, Minoxidil, Preparation-H, Bag Bomb, Fixodent So, you could indicate age by stating "Bag Bomb" like me. _______________ tedd sperling tedd@sperling.com
