Put Some Memory In My Mouse
Spotted an item off of MacCentral this morning, via a feed to NetNewsWire … (ok, I’ve given everyone credit, may I move on? :-)
There’s a new USB mouse with 64 meg of memory.
I won’t be getting this one, but it did make me think of a new product category … multiple memory card wireless mice.
My favorite mouse is a small, metal optical Logitech Mouseman Mobile. It’s gotten to the point where a rollerball mouse feels very clunky to me.
Even though my mouse is small, there’s ample room for, say, a compact flash card. Hmm, even two of ‘em (such as 2 Lexar 8gb cards, when they come way down in price … enough for quite a project)
So that would be cool - Give me a mouse that I’m going to be carrying around anyway, give it bluetooth, or better yet, wireless Firewire. That means one less thing to carry around, and a quick way to make local backups of important files on my laptop. My wrist is not going to really notice the weight of a flash card either way.
