Yeah, cyborgs aren't meant to be pretty :) I might have a look at one. If the side buttons are easier to use than those on my Razor I might get one. One reservation is regarding the batteries. I hate it when wireless mice die gradually as the batteries drain, eventually resulting in a *sticky mouse* before it stops responding all together.

      COBOL itself is not the problem. Code that has been bodged and kludged over decades but still somehow runs is probably the sort of Gordian knot that even AI can't necessarily unravel.
