@mgmyself: cigarette ash and mouse pad: bad bad bad combination.

@CelluloidBlonde: Silly MG that is why you want a laser mouse not a trackball mouse

@mgmyself: mine is not a trackball one. But I have a glass desk and it doesn’t work so I need the mouse pad :(

@CelluloidBlonde: Just pretend the mouse is Godzilla and the mousepad is Tokyo. Who says cig/mousepad collision cannot be fun?
