OK - it must be that time of the decade for a new mouse. I have several mice but my favorite since 2009 has been a Logitech Anywhere MX. I've literally taken it around the world. In 2013 I bought another one as a backup because I didn't want to be without one if the first one crapped out -- which it has not. BUT...last week, something came over me and I thought - "It's time for a new favorite mouse!" My criteria...1) fits my hand completely (palm resting on top, fingertips rest right on the buttons - my hands are kind of large), 2) can be used ambidextrously (I'm a lefty but use right-handed mice), 3) wireless (my desk is too cluttered; also, I travel). I ended up with a Logitech M650L (blue) - and it is, in fact, my new favorite. One thing that I was not expecting to like is QUIET clicks; I use a mechanical keyboard and love the "noise" - but this quiet clicking mouse is kind of nice. You do feel the clicks, though. Another surprise was that it has Bluetooth in addition to the USB dongle. So, I'm glad I'm not the only one talking about a new mouse. I mentioned how excited I was about it to coworkers and family and it's kind of and odd thing to talk about. Most people don't care. Ok...NOW...who wants to talk about COFFEE MUGS?!!! :D

Same story. Same likes and rubs - and the battery cover coming off all the time! I just couldn't come to buy another one after my 3rd one died. I did get the Microsoft Arc Mouse which kind of has the touchpad on the top. Works with Windows and Linux - but my Mac doesn't even see it! Figures.

Didn't Bugs Bunny do that with Beethoven's 5th? :D

(SPOILER ALERT - Stranger Things Season 2) How about on Stranger Things (second season), Bob had to use BASIC to bring the power back online for the facility. Every key that he pressed produced a full line of code! Actually, that would have been my dream back in the mid-80s, too. Know BASIC - save the world! And, my name is Bob, too! :D

You could invest few bucks a month in cloud storage. It may cost you less than what you would pay for that cable. Then you could get to your files from anywhere - including your phone or other computers.

I left GoDaddy in 2010 and went to Arvixe.com for hosting and domain registration. Arvixe is not as 'fancy' as GD, but they provide just enough for me. And they do send me notices when a domain is going to expire - starting about 30-days out - even though my domains do auto-renew. All of my domains are registered through them but not all are hosted with them. There are a lot of ways to register these days. It's might be just a matter of if you want to bundle additional services. I have one domain with web hosting at Arvixe. I have a domain (from Arvixe) which I use with NoIP (no-ip.com) that forwards to my home server. And I've got a VPC with Linode that uses another domain which was registered through Arvixe. Each of those services also offer domain registration. Also wanted to add that in my experience, most services do use an online ticket system these days, rather than a phone number. In fact, personally, I'm more suspicious when they do offer a phone number. But, either way, you should still expect personalized service. Hope you find something that works to your liking. Looks like you have lots of good suggestions from this nice community.

For every warning label there's at least one good story! We don't need lawyers if we just rely on Darwin's law. :cool:
