Fast Mouse.

Well, what a day. Full of everything including a few challenging problems. Amongst the days events though, I managed to snap a pic of a side project I had a little time to fit in: Here's an unassuming candidate; my sons novelty car mouse.

I think it's supposed to look like a BMW...Not sure, but it was suffering from engine abuse (being thrashed). I guess you could say that it was in need of a major service. But fear not : ) with my trusty soldering iron and a few spare minutes, I was able to get it back on the road -Well back on the mouse pad anyway and even more remarkably, it actually still works! They were a bit rough with it and given it's design, was in need of a slight modification.

A discussion at work prompted me to think about the way things are made these days. Leave me a comment about how you see it, but It seems to be that in general, people aggree that things are not made as well as they once were i.e, in the 80's. Dunno about that but it is a subject worth discussion. Obviously, there are things that are made now that were not possible 20 or 30 years ago. Maybe its just a way that technophobes can justify their existence at home in their retro houses watching black and white TV on their Beta video machines. Anyway, I might go and watch a DVD with my darling wife before it gets too late. Cheers folks!
