I still have the same Microsoft Intellimouse that I got in 2000 when I went away to college. IIRC it was one of the first that used optical tracking vs ye old ball.
My parents bought a new mouse when I was a kid back in the early 2000s cause we had a crappy view sonic one that came with the pc. The new one was a Microsoft one and it didn’t work cause it needed xp and we had ME. Back to the viewsonic mouse it was for another 20 years until I bought them a Logitech wireless one on a pc I built for them a few years ago.
Wild how the cheap stuff works well for so many years!
Did your parents keep ME for 20 years??? I had it in my first PC and I seemed to be the only person on the planet who had no issues with it, but even so, I was done with it after about a year

Nah we upgraded after a few years. But ME was a struggle! Had so many crashes in Diablo 2 and EverQuest. Thats all that mattered to me.
I hated Windows ME but I loved that time. I’d love to go back and chill for a couple days.
Funny thing though, I hated that time while I was living through it haha.
I’d probably still be using my CeBIT-branded IntelliMouse Explorer if it hadn’t been jostled by too many backpack rides. It was just plain good.
