The best little rat I have cought in a long time



In my field I often come across quite impressive examples of advanced technology, so usually I am unimpressed by such things...

so i found a steal on this Gyration Gyrotransport ($13 @ ebay), and I was a little disappointed when it arrived and it was much smaller than I expected. But after trying it out, this thing is amazing, and the size is actually perfect - its a great difference from the bulky microsoft mouse (actually it was compact) I had. You dont use it like a conventional mouse you dodo - its just like a car alarm remote - you just point it and click with your thumb. 

The transmitter has a 1gb flash built in which came with the software for the mouse, and can go with any files I put on it - geek factor+ 

It works as advertised - 100 foot range, I can go out in the yard and it still works - now i can control my media center while I mow the lawn, and being that my media center controls 2 TVs this thing means I am not locked to one screen - I can just take it with me to the other room. Of course I will probably get another if I cant find a decent steal on the Gyration Media Center remote. 

Its the most functional mouse I have seen so far, and in a light weight package - it will probably get lost fast in the deep pits of the couch.
