The Mice That Didn't Make It 202
Harry writes "For every blockbuster of the mouse world (such as Microsoft and Logitech's big sellers) there have been countless mice that flopped, or never made it to market.

I'm not reading this article because it's on 20 different pages. STOP THAT SHIT.
Seriously. There really needs to be some way to administer a small electric shock to both the submitter and the editor for things like this.

"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country." is a sentence that used to be used a lot in typesetting -- it's exactly 70 characters (including the period), the width of one standard line.
Note that the original quote was "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party", it was part of a typing exercise, not sure if it was originally a political quote...
Why yes, I do have recollection of random factoids from elementary school typing class, why do you ask?

...your "article" over 24 pages? Other submitters go to the trouble of linking a print page to spare us this crap and you link an ad-riddled pos like that on purpose? I don't say that often, but: fuck you.
