Mouse pads are probably the most personal and often changed components of most people’s computing setup. I have come to the conclusion that every mouse-pad has a story behind it, and I’m curious to hear them. What’s yours?
I’ll start it off. I have two mouse-pads, the first has a Picasso painting on it, Three Musicians. My mother got it for me as a present, and I believe she got it from a museum store. The other one I use at my desktop has each of the Presidents of the United States on it in chronological order. I bought it when I was in Washington D.C. for the G8 camp over the summer, which was a wonderful experience by the way, and we visited the Lincoln Memorial. Your turn. 🙂
i have owned my mousepad for six years and it has seen three different computers, 4 different mice, 3 keyboards, 2 monitors, and, well, you get the idea. most frequently changed part of a setup my @#$! 😛 i bought it purely based on the fact that i has a squishy wrist rest thats fun to poke when i’m bored.
Haha, you could at least say what color it is. Now that I think about it the mouse-pad I had before the Picasso one I must’ve had forever. It had a neat comic of Spiderman on it swinging on a web, and it must have been from early high school.
The other one I’ve bought recently I got from the Federal Reserve in DC and it changes from coins to money depending on how you look at it. I couldn’t use it though, because its reflective surface messes up my optical mouse.
Mousepad? I don’t need no stinkin’ mousepad – I have a laptop! wOOt!
Ok, I do have a mousepad at work – it is one of a saint that I bought at the cool kitsch store in Austin – I’ll have to look on Monday to see what saint it is. It’s an old-fashioned picture, it reminds me of a Holy Card that you might have seen in the ’40s.
At home I have a plain black mousepad at my PCU.
elissa has no mousepad. she has an optical mouse.
however, she has a wristpad for her keyboard, which used to have a scene with elephants on it but the elephants got ripped off .. now she uses the same wristpad but it’s torn and has little holes in it and gets black dust everywhere.
Sarah has no need for a mousepad either, at least not since her posessed old mouse was replaced with the sexy new one… However, she (Oh my god, elissa, you’re a champion I can’t do it, switching back into first person now) I (whew, better) have a mousepad anyway…it is plain black, cuz it used to be my dad, and he is boring and color coordinated… it is now mine and I’m not changing it cuz I’m poor and dont’ really need a mousepad anyway 🙂
