* Almost out of probation at my new job. Only five more days until its slightly harder to fire me. Woo.
* Thinking hard about giving up on my missile command machine. It’ll cost me $300AUD for perfect trackballs or about $100USD of the parts I need to recondition them myself.
+Whatever it costs to trouble shoot a few small side issues it has.
Afterwards it’ll still be a single play game…or I can spend the same or less and play hundreds of games.

So I have the big tv.
The tv out pc.
The nice sound system.
All I needed was a keyboard and mouse.
Seems simple enough right?

I find a passable model and a passable price.
Shopkeep EVENTUALLY goes to get it from the back, EVENTUALLY finds out they only have the display model, EVENTUALLY works out he can sell it to me. EVENTUALLY boxes it up and sells it to me.
I get it home. EVENTUALLY install the freaking drivers and get it going. Nice.
Pity it only has a one meter range.
