Vintage Mousepads!

Post by James Steele »

I'll start it out! Found this little gem in a box of stuff. Circa 90s Apple mousepad. (I have another really cool one I'll post later.)

Haha! I forgot that was in the photo! That's one of those keyboards with the DP layout on it. Stupid me thought it would be a good idea to clean it with 409 instead of soapy water. I DO use the Enter key a lot so it was really dirty. So I scrubbed it really hard... and you see the result. :(

Which reminds me... I need to write the company and see if there's any hope that I could replace just a key or send it to them and they could fix it. It IS kinda ugly! :)

I tried to buy a mouse mat a few years ago, and couldn't find one. So I dug these out.

Of course I also found THESE vintage items in that same box:

Two EH pedals, which are the only artifacts I still own from my first studio way back in the early 70s, plus some Rockmans I got in the 80s.

#*$&%¥! GoogleDrive!

There appears to be no way to upload photos. You can only post photos using links to them posted somewhere else? And I am having no luck pasting GoogleDrive or Dropbox links.

I use Photobucket for precisely this purpose. I think Flickr works well, too. They both provide special forum links automatically.

OK, thx, cuttime! I guess Photobucket can now be checked off my bucket list! Should be working now. (I hope.)

I'm confused. Vintage 70s equipment versus Curious George mouse mat.

Sorry, I know I'm veering off-topic. The original topic was supposed to be mousepads, but I found these pedals in the same box and thought they would be a lot more fun to look at!

Off topic is fine. I was wondering if you're my age, or the age of my grandchildren. But I'd never ask.

Let's put it this way ... I was very young when I started, and I can only hope that the years have been kinder to me than they were to these fossilized forgetmenots.

Actually, last I checked the Small Stone still works!
