Horizontal Scrolling

My last computer mouse had dropped to the floor once too often. So this week I got myself a new one. It has the option of tilting the mouse-wheel left/right and functions can be assigned to these operations.
I always hated to move the mouse-pointer all the way to the horizontal scroll bar. Problem solved now:

Yay! :thumb:

Yes! Logitech makes the best meeses products!

Try shift + scroll wheel? That's what I use for horizontal, just because pushing the scroll wheel around feels like something that will eventually worsen my tendonitis.

Trackball.

shift + scroll seems to send me back through my browser history
interesting

Shift + scroll works too here.

I'm usually a keyboard only person. That was a good thing when my mouse broke and I had to download driver software, so I could install my ancient Win98-PS/2 mouse to tide me over while shopping for a new one.

... and I raise you a c120

Dude, you should never go past 90 - the longer ones break too easily. Besides, the 90 fit an album on each side quite nicely.:)

Only had the best experience with 120s, had dozens of them and never lost a tape. The brand I used had just the sound characteristics I liked. - There's even a transcription from C120 recording published on CD - the sound carries me back to my student days.

My cassette of choice was TDK SA-90 FWIW.

yeah, me too.

I feel like I just fell out of my time machine.

You have a time machine? Could you give me a ride back to 1996? I left a pair of gloves back there.

I still have a few of these in the basement. I had literally hundreds of them with Dead shows on 'em way back when, but I sold most of them years ago.

My time machine only goes forward now.

I have a Sony UX90 Type II (CrO2) Position High Bias 70us EQ that I carry in my pocket every day.

You carry Peter [COLOR="White"]Gabriel[/COLOR]
In your pocket every day?


:runaway: :bolt:

And then there's this...

Behold, the recordable eight-track tape.

I still have a portable eight-track player somewhere. Eight D-cells, good thing it had a shoulder strap.

I'll bite.

Why for?

The Washington DC subway system has these reusable fare cards that are really fragile. They crack when you keep them in your wallet and they stop working. I hollowed out this cassette and put the fare card inside to protect it. The wireless signal from the card easily broadcasts through the cassette case.

Oh, so you can't really listen to Peter Gabriel. :(

No, but I can hear it in my head anyway. It's etched in there.

Aye, I had noticed it isn't a working tape. - I bet you get the occasional double take, when people think "What!? You can get through the turnstile with a cassette??"

Horizontal Scrolling

Is that what the teenagers are calling it nowadays?

Nice.

Long ago, my friend would record music on a VHS tape. It held hours of tunes, and during a party, he didn't have to change albums.

On many mice, if you press the center scroll wheel, it puts you in 4-way scroll mode, and all you have to do is move your mouse around to pan.

I have my mouse set up so that pressing that wheel maximizes the window you are in

I have pretty much my entire library of vinyl and CDs converted to mp3s. The Zings graduation parties were pretty much all day things. I never had to touch the music.

I remember this was a thing that DIY audiophiles did. The VHS tape was very wide and stored a lot of information, so you could get very high quality sound reproduction and also store more music. It was better sound than you could get from a reel to reel machine and far better than you could get on a cassette. But you had to know some electronics to modify your VCR so it only recorded audio over the entire tape instead of using the tape of audio and video.

I bet there's a website somewhere now that explains how it was done.

This guy did it BCD (before CDs).

Thats when everyone did it - BCD's.

Right. Knew that. In fact I did the same thing. The point was how far things have come.

This is much more a function of the mouse DRIVER and less about the specific mouse.
