Of Mice and [Poor] Men

Antony got a second Bluetooth laser mouse today and is calling himself poor, so I'd like to show him an actual poor geek's collection of mice:

Mice.

From left to right: 2x Mitsumi PS/2 scroll mouse, Microsoft Serial-MousePort Mouse 2.0, Gateway (Microsoft) Trekker 2.0A Wheel Mouse, Microsoft Serial Mouse 2.0A, Logitech Serial-MouseMan, and Logitech MouseMan. I can't find the controller card for the InPort bus mouse, so I can't tell if it works or not.

I would like to point out that none of these mice are cordless, optical, or even USB-compliant. The newest one of the lot (the Trekker) is from 1998, and the oldest (the two MouseMan mice) are from 1991. The InPort mouse requires an 8-bit ISA slot for the controller card, and thus can't be used on newer machines that only feature PCI and/or PCI Express.

Actually, that was my third Bluetooth laser mouse, the second Logitech V470 mouse.<br /><br />I posted a photo of all my mice (currently in my possession): http://sillydog.org/forum/sdp_93779.php#93779

I have 2 serial mice, 1 wired PS/2 mouse, 1 wired USB, and 2 wireless mice. And I got most of em at BigLots for less than $10 each. Now I AM the poor geek!
