10 Technological Dinosaurs Almost Extinct

[LoungeMachine]

Everytime one of these Dinosaurs gets replaced, spED's palms begin to itch.

Wonder how many different formats we'll end up buying the 6-pack in overall?

Let's see.....8-Track, Vinyl, Cassette, CD, MP3, DVD and various other digital formats.

So we'll keep the franchise rolling in $$$ for years to come.

Just had a random thought about those...... when the ball would get worn you could always use rubbing alcohol on those to clean off the shine and expand the diameter of the ball, to get more life out of them.

You would always have to clean the rollers too, those rubber balls
pick up all kinds of shit off your mouse mat or desk.
I had a supplier that used to sell new mouse balls..
They told me their biggest customers were schools..
Apparently schoolkids used to love stealing them..
(Would probably be a cool bullet for a slingshot I reckon !)

Oh, I was thinking of a different type of mouse (maybe it wasn't a "mouse" at all?).

It was a big black ball that sat in the body of the computer, with half of the sphere exposed and half inside, and you rolled it with your hand to move the cursor.
