現在我也可以說,「『我們』是一群在尋找滑鼠的人」。例如:如果學校課程、或者政府服務、或者政治選舉...他們出貨時忘了附帶滑鼠,那我們找到了滑鼠,就要把它裝上去(哈)。

如果有逛過家樂福或Pxhome,會發現滑鼠有千百種,有的滑鼠只能給右撇子使用(有障礙?)、有的每年要收授權費(嗯...我亂講的,MS應該也沒有出這種硬體)、有的還在使用古老的滾輪技術(IE6 only!?)、有的...???

至於我,我是尋找 RSS 的人 :)

And she stuck her head out from behind the screen and said, "Looking for the mouse."
