Re: Common use machines should always use pigtail extension leads for USB

I still own and operate half a dozen of Microsoft's 1987 "Dove Soap" mouses/meese/whatever. To my hand, they are the best two button mouse ever made. It's pretty sad, when you think about it, that the world's largest software company has only made one decent product in it's entire history ... and it's a bit of peripheral hardware for an interface that has been depreciated.
