ordered myself a new mouse pad... - Page 2

Sailor Steve · 08-28-08, 09:34 PM

I was once using a funny joke as a sig, but was called out because it conflicted with my stated opposition to bashing other countries. I removed it immediately, to the delight of some and concern of others, but that's not really what's important.

I just wanted to say to GoldenRivet what someone else said to me when I changed it without hesitation:

You, Sir, have class!

Nice mousepad GoldenRivet.

GoldenRivet · 08-28-08, 10:26 PM

Thanks Task Force, glad you like it. according to my receipt it hits the mail tomorrow.

If you want one im sure they are available on other - less controversial websites!

@sailor steve: Thanks, I enjoy the conversation and comradery here at subsim, and i consider the members to be my friends...

if something i have done makes my friends upset- i try to change it if i can.

i guess just about anyone here would do the same.

I used the site few times, and apart from great service they provided i didnt make much of the rest of the stuff they sell. It all depends of point of view. Some can see nazi symbols on the ancient architecture, and make fuss about it.
I got few items for my boat display, like: U-boats badge, german cross, and the battle flag. Obviously replica of gass cannisters used in concentration camps is bit over the top, but the rest of the stuff is great, and at good price.

If you want to entertain the website in question please do not do so without looking at the whole site. I could see that something was wrong on this site within 5 minutes and I WAS NOT LOOKING FOR IT.

Do you want me to quote all the propaganda from this site? Please just read. Good prices do not make this right.

Their site has been taken down several times because of objectionable content. I will attach a quote from their sales team which states their commitment to perpetuating Nazi propaganda.

I have heard that these mats are no good for laser mice, has to be a single color!

Sailor Steve · 08-29-08, 07:21 AM

My 'Battle of Britain' pad has a big Spitfire on it and several He-111s in the background an it works quite well with an optical mouse; no problems at all.

You certainly get my vote mate

My mousepad

Murr44 · 08-29-08, 09:25 AM

That's a nice looking pad.

Does anyone know where I could pick up a nice U-Boat themed pad? I "Googled" it yesterday and, apart from that objectionable site, couldn't come up with very much; saw something on E-bay but wasn't impressed.

Thanks...

Strange Steve, I just tried with a few colored book covers & the mouse jumps all over the place, B&W is ok, these had non reflective surfaces! Happens to my sons computer as well!

Edit: Seems what I tried was still too reflective, a colored newspaper worked fine!
