ahh yes forgot to say get wired. Wireless isnt worth it for anything other than laptops.

I have a lot of mice from Logitech lying around (you can see a few in my pic) and I have to say that the VX Revolution wireless mouse is really comfy and good enough for desktop use as well as laptop use. Still I prefer the feel of the Logitech G5 and its flawless tracking. When working with photoshop I can dial down the speed using the dedicated buttons and increase speed for gaming.

I also use the Razer DeathAdder because it is just as comfortable and it has a nice grip to it. Now I'm pretty done with mice and now focused on keyboards and speakers. I'm also pretty obsessed with in-ear headphones since I bought many Shure, Etymotic and Ultimate Ears cans. I just bought the Klipsch Custom-3 earbuds and these are the only ones that can make the iPods sound good. Dammit so many toys. One of these days I gotta disconnect my internet connection.

It's all Newegg's fault for my wallet getting lighter. well that and all these tech sites showing off the newest product every week.

Speaking of which, time to go buy Crysis Warhead and enjoy some gaming in any free time I've got.

I have another question for the gurus.....

How do I delete an email address from my computer?

Even though I can delete it from the address book.....it is still there.....

For example...If I start a new email...I type in the first letter of a name and it automatically enters in the address line...even though it's gone from the address book....

There are several email addresses I would like to get rid of.

Thank you.

what he said which one are you using.

You can look in the options/preferences and there should be something about remember address's ive used or somethign to that nature. You can tell it not to remember those.
