your foodstamps give you a way

everything's coming up roots.

in the past couple of months i've gotten a few pieces of hardware that have been... disappointing. my scanner didn't work with my mac. last week my logitech bluetooth mouse stopped working completely. and that sound card was a total disaster.

well, the other day i went to try the sound card again, and it worked ok. while i had the case open, i noticed that my usb pci card wasn't in the slot all the way. last night, i plugged the scanner into the mac and it worked! just in time, because i had to fax something today. this afternoon i got the replacement mouse in the mail, and i just realized that because it's bluetooth, i don't actually need the receiver (which is what was broken) to be able to use it (the receiver still charges, too!).

unfortunately not everything has gone so well for me today. i went to staples to get more hanging file folders, but i got the wrong size. i did get a pretty nice stapler, though.
