B&W rules!

So, you're missing just a few classic titles!

Forbidden Planet is THE classic. But there are more:

The Thing with James Arness.

The Crawling Eye

The Beast from 20,000 fathoms (no fathoming that title, tho)

IT Came from Outer Space

More?

You really DO need to _survey_ readers to develop a list!!!

Better mouse?

Although I've used Logitech mice for years, I'm a bit disappointed at their recent offerings. My all-time favorite is the now discontinued wireless MX-700, with two thumb buttons a small button before and after the wheel and another button a little farther behind the wheel.

Additional features would be great, but it seems Logitech has only RETREATED from this 8-button configuration.

I use the thumb buttons, of course, for page back/forward, but also use the additional buttons for COPY, PASTE, and Shift-Delete. With Firefox's Autocopy extension installed, I save tremendous time navigating sites and posting in forums with this configuration.

Newer mice use different software that doesn't seem as fast or as configurable. Nor do they have 8 completely programmable buttons if you don't want to manually modify the XML files!!!

Bring back the MX-700! Give IT a tilt wheel and let me configure -everything-! :)
