A mouse fo $0.69, daaamn Gina

Last mouse I got for $1 wasn't worth a cent.

But I did get a laugh from the installation instructions on the box:


1. Shut off your computer

2. Put the mouse connector into your computer ISA cable

3. Open your computer, the system can run normally



WTF, looks like a poor babelfish translation...when the fish is on crack that is!
 
I think more like Maaaartin (I promise officer I was just tired and didn't know what I was doin') Lawrence.
 
Ahh the good ol days, when I could kick back with Martin, Gina, Tommy and the gang. Martin, or as I lke to call it The Original UPN, should never have died.

I am 100% sure this is translated from taiwan/china/hong kong, because open == turn on in chinese.
 
it does say limit 2 per customer. I did this once before when they had .69 mice. But the ones I got were just like the old logitech ones. Shipping was not bad so it came out to like $1.75 per mouse. Bundled it with some systems and made a few bucks.

yeah i seen this mouse on neweggs from page a couple of months ago but when i saw the shipping price i said forget it. what a bunch of crap.
 
Email sent to New Egg:

"Why is it $6 to ship 1 mouse, and $12 to ship 2?
Shouldn?t this be considered gouging on shipping costs?
I would be happy to order a couple, but not at $6 each for shipping."

Think there will be an answer?
 
I got some of these before they limited it to two per. Seems to behaving funky in 98, 2k the butoons all work fine but the scroll wheel doesnt seem to know what to do. Anyone having any luck finding correct/better drivers on this?
