Mine is a funky keyboard that has a PS/2 mouse connection on it that I bought on Ebay.
I’ve only three. Well, four, but I don’t use the joystick.
I’ve got a scanner, and a digital camera, and the cradle for my Visor.
I’m gonna have to go with the Visor cradle.
I only have my scanner, so I guess that’s it.
The first USB scanner I installed…after the hassle of SCSI and Parallel…I plugged in the USB cable, bent over and turned on the scanner. When I looked up, Win 98 had begun installing the software. Cool.
I have several USB devices, which I share between my Windows 98 machine and my iMac. One of them is a CD-RW drive, which I absolutely LOVE. I also have a scanner, and I guess I should include that USB Logitech mouse, (but I’m currently using it on the PS/2 connection, “just because”.) I also have an Epson 640 Printer, which has a USB, serial (Mac) and parallel connection - but I just have it hooked up to a serial port on my old Mac right now. (Do you get the impression that I have too many computers? Yes! And too many cats as well, not that you asked…)
But my coolest USB device has got to my my Wacom digital tablet. I LOVE it, and it comes with one of those scrolly mice as well. I use the cordless “pen” to draw in Photoshop and Illustrator, and the mouse the rest of the time. (That way I don’t need to use that horrible round “hockey puck” mouse that came with my iMac!)
For all you Mac lovers out there, this is the USB device for you! Just check out this website: http://www.ibrator.com/ibrator.html
Argh! Not that again!
I replaced my iMac mouse with a UniMouse. Kinda sad that my mouse is cooler than my scanner, huh?
Same here! Well, almost. The dumb cordless optical mouse is awful. It ‘scrapes’ instead of slides, and it keeps nudging the edges of the tablet, so isn’t as freeflowing as it should be.
And anyway, I use the pen more often than not.
I think it’s preventing one of my games from working though.

Yosemitebabe, how can you own a PC AND an imac? That’s like having Aquaman marry a woman without gills, they’re from two different worlds! Do your computers fight amongst themselves over who gets to have you? I mean, what kind of weird house do you live in anyway?
Anyway, all I have is a logitech mouse w/ scolling wheel-thingy.
On my nice little thread!
It’s not uncommon for Mac users to have a PC. A lot of the Mac geeks on the Mac mailing list I’m on mention having PCs without any “shame”. But Macs are their “great love”. Same with me - I do most of my web surfing and Photoshop work on my iMac. (Well, also, the iMac is faster than my PC in Photoshop - even though it has a 266 MHz CPU, and the PC has 450! Macs are like that.)
I have a USB Microsoft IntelliEye Mouse. It rules. No moving parts to clean. It uses a digital camera to sense movement instead of a ball. If you play games on your computer (especially mouse games like Quake, Half Life, etc) you need one of these mice. Or if you’re the lazy type who never wants to clean one either.
It’s a PSX controller to PC converter. I can play PC games with my PSX controller. I love it.
Diamond Rio 500 mp3 player, compatible with audible.com content. While also the only USB device I have (I’m a thinkpad owner), I love being able to download This American Life from audible.com, send it over to the Rio, and listen to it since usually I can’t be near a radio when it airs.
Car Talk is fun too.
Plus I’ve found some old time radio shows in mp3 content (one even from Rioport) to keep me entertained.
songs? feh. No use for 'em
a scanner and printer, but the coolest is the imouse jr, for beings with smaller hands, it’s too wicked. I adore it. And when children come by and they play Bugdom on my computer they love it.
I have an Intel digital microscope. Sure it was bought for my kid, but when he goes to sleep, I get to play with it.
I have a USB hub, as I have several USB devices connected to my main PC.
- MS Sidewinder Pro joystick
- Cradle for Handspring Visor
- Inkjet printer
The coolest, though, has to be my MP3 player. Check it out at http://www.pjbox.com
