RE: Hi kids!

[jcoyle]

Sorry to hear that Mark: you may recall I lost my daughter to pancreatic cancer 
7 years ago.  Those years are never easy having to
deal with such an awful disease.

Thanks. She was in California staying with Lisa's sister in 2020 when she 
started having problems. A visit to the local Urgent Care
and an ultrasound revealed a mass on the pancreas and Lisa said "get your ass 
to Boston NOW" (or words to that effect). She arrived
*two days* before Logan airport shut down for the peak of the pandemic. 
Diagnosed at age 92 and made it well past her 94th birthday.
An amazing woman.

Of course, having a cancer patient in the house meant Lisa and I were "extra 
locked down" because we couldn't afford to bring Covid
back home to her. Very stressful couple of years. We've really spent the last 6 
months or so coming out of our shell.

Re: Mouse/trackball question

[Otis C. Wright, Jr.]

Have two of the M575s in use, a spare, and an older version. All have 
worked just fine for me.  However, bearings and sensor window do seem to 
need periodic cleaning.   Track ball pops out easily to enable cleaning 
and pops back in with no problem, for me anyway. Went with trackball 
some years ago as mouse and pad just didn't work in my preferred workspace.

I have a Kensington Expert Mouse on my work computer; it has a huge 
trackball, four buttons, and a scroll wheel surrounding the track 
ball. I tried it on the photo computer and it was awkward.

Re: Mouse/trackball question

[Rick Womer]

Thanks for the offer, Mark!

Mine has the ball on the side, so that one uses one’s thumb. The fingers are 
for buttons and a scroll wheel.

I took the thing apart, gave it a good cleaning, and it seems to be working 
okay again.

Is this the kind of thing you're referring to:

If so, you can have the one in that photo. I never used it.

The only change here is that fewer people are posting and commenting. Sigh.

My condolences to Lisa. The last time I saw her was at a pre-pandemic COG 
meeting—seems like a time warp ago.
