> Yes, you’re right. My wanting to install a mouse with an unusually high level of functionality was an act of extreme hubris, providing clear moral license for Microsoft to move in and screw up my system. I’m so sorry! I deserved it! I don’t know what I was thinking! Please forgive me, Mr. Gates, and I’ll go back to your perfect, plain two button wired mouse!! I’VE LEARNED MY LESSON!!

Yea, Icarus, dost thou never learneth?

Waxen wings on thy backeth or a mouse with too many buttonsth and yea, Icarus must always pusheth thine limits of hvbris.
