The Mice That Didn't Make It

Harry writes "For every blockbuster of the mouse world (such as Microsoft and Logitech's big sellers) there have been countless mice that flopped, or never made it to market. Mice shaped like pyramids; mice shaped like Mickey; mice that doubled as numeric keypads or phones. Even one that sat on your steering wheel. I've rounded up some evocative patent drawings on twenty notable examples."

Re:Not Reading It

It's an annoying set-up, I agree. However, it's pretty neat information (for those of us obsessed w/ input devices) -- so, a dilemma. I'd enjoy seeing some sort of script / plug-in that would seek "next" links on such sites and string them together into one big vertical page, but I don't know of such a thing yet.

Any suggestions, other than "don't ever run links to sites with stories spread over more than one page," that might make this easier on everyone's eyeballs?

Now now, come on. There were barely 10000 ads over the entire 24 pages. I think you are exagerating just a bit.
