Funny eBay item

#1 Post by dsigma6 » Thu Jan 17, 2008 4:26 pm

My main purpose in life is to randomly post funny things I find online:

Just read the description...The item itself isn't exactly hilarious, but it is laughable.

Wonder if there would be money in it, to offer those non-native English speakers,
to clean up their atrocious choice of words? :wink:

I'd consider buying one as well...even though I do find similar covers that I've used slightly awkward (they may be PVC ones rather than silicon)

I noticed it covers the pointing stick also which means trackpoint feel will be inconsistent or absent unless you cut out the protector to a make a room for it.
