Oh, good idea...

These are them, slightly annotated. And nobody is allowed to laugh.


Cutting corners - Money-saving tips

1. Buy the cheapest mice and keyboards you can find.
2. just buy replacement balls for mice you can order these from a
computer store quite cheaply.
3. An economic alternative {to mouse pads}is the vinyl table placemats
that you cut on a paper cutter to make two excellent, indestructible and
easily cleaned mousepads.
4. check out free Internet email services like Hotmail or Ireland.com.
5. You can get free web pages from companies like Geocities and
Angelfire.
6. Don't bother with tailor made dust covers, though. A few old sheets
thrown over all the machines are perfectly adequate.
