Title: remember those $1.95 trackballs from Outpost.com?
Post by: shmokes on April 16, 2003, 09:53:06 pm

Hey everyone who purchased those $1.95 trackballs from Outpost.com....has anyone mounted them yet?

I really lack engineering and carpentry skills.  I picked up a few, but If anyone has mounted one inconspicuously, with only the ball showing through the control panel I would really appreciate a tutorial, or even suggestions.

Thanks.

I just got a "They're STILL on backorder" email from outpost.com.  I cancelled the order.

lol...that is really REALLY bad.  I bet half the people who read your second post still don't get it.  God that was terrible.  

Does anybody BESIDES Rampy have anything to offer?  :) I know that between every BYOAC member we must have ordered at least a hundred of those trackballs.
