I have a wireless computer mouse I purchased some years ago, a Logitech MX 700. The rechargeable batteries for the mouse are nearing the end of their lifespan–they won’t hold a charge for more than a few days. Worse, the blinking red dead-battery indicator on the top of my mouse blinks constantly, which is annoying. The buttons on the mouse don’t quite work the way they used to and the paint has worn off the plastic wherever it touched my hand. The mouse lasted six years, a respectable time for a computer mouse, but it’s time for it to crawl off to that place all mice go to die.
I decided to go looking for a replacement mouse with a bit longer battery life. I found the Logitech Wireless Marathon Mouse M705 which has a 3-year battery life, and favorable reviews.
Even though the mouse isn’t rechargeable, three years between battery replacements is a huge improvement.

I was curious just how big the biggest, largest USB flash drive available would be. This is one of those fun sorts of searches that tells you how far technology has advanced. So far, looks like Kingston’s 256GB USB flash drive is as large as it gets, for the time being. The Kingston DataTraveler 310 is a USB Key with 256GB of storage (pictured below and sold on Amazon). While I can find larger USB keys on Google, I can’t find them from a reputable memory or computer dealer.
Say goodbye to the old floppy disk. Does anybody carry them any more?
