Off topic: What is on your mousepad? Thread poster: Yolanda Bello Olvera

Mine is a Guiness beer mousepad.
It reads "St. James's Gate, The home of guiness" in red letter and a yellow background and some animals drinking stout.
Regards,

Right now I am using a mousepad I got as a "Christmas gift" from a translation agency (booooring).
My favourite mousepad is with a picture of a young fox lying in the grass and lit by late afternoon sun.
P.A.S.

Mine wears a smiling, vintage-style, telephone that holds a huge pencil and that has presumably written "Smile!" with it just a moment ago.
On the eve of my holiday, I am giving you all a big, big smile

There are no ornaments on my mousepad, except of course for the not-so-rare occassions, when one of my cats, Frut, comes over. She loves to sit on the mouse and sunbathe with her nose pointed to the light bulb of my desk lamp.
Over the years I've accumulated quite a number of decorative mousepads which are sometimes used as table mats during parties. My favourite ones include a very green Heineken one and a round one with a photo of coffee in the cup from one of my clients.

| most useful mousemat ever | Jul 13, 2007 |
I've got one of these:

my laser mouse has to do with a wooden table top.
I like that! Now you have a nearly unlimited range of action, you never experience that annoying situation your cursor stops or makes unexpected movements because of the mouse stumbles to the mouse pad border, or "falls down" to the table top.

| Mine is from IBM | Jul 13, 2007 |
I am really not interested in the design of my mousepad.
On the top it is written: Education & Training
wir definieren Service neu! IBM
I am definitely not affiliated with IBM, I just got it many years ago.
If I remember well, it was in a pack of goodies that Markus came back with out of an IT 2 weeks seminar by Sun in Munich. When I see it I remember of that time. I got most of the goodies for being so long alone with the baby (as well as other thing... See more I am really not interested in the design of my mousepad.

| Mousepad? No thanks | Jul 13, 2007 |
I don't have a mousepad, I'm using a pen tablet.
I find this much more natural to handle than a mouse. On my other computer I have a track ball. All for the purpose of RSI prevention, and I think it works.
Pen tablets come with fancy features too; if I like, I kan digitalize my own signature and handwriting
Another advantage: my tablet and track ball have their own fixed place on my desk. No problem... See more I don't have a mousepad, I'm using a pen tablet.

Exactly Henk, I don't use any mousepad, too
