Photographic proof attached. Two logitech mice playing well together about three feet apart.
Hey--- thanks for quick reply! Maybe each unit has some unique code?
Nice to know, these little baby mice are cheap and work fine for me.
BTW- you prompt me to show you one of my young friends. He works in a U-haul agency...
For my new laptop I bought a little wireless USB Logitech mouse. Takes up little room- works on any surface, has a battery saver switch and was low priced. (I am a Logitech fan). Model is V220
My case: I would to get another mouse just like it to use on my desktop, with very limited space. I tried the little mouse on the PC and really like it.
Possible problem? Often I use the laptop right next to the desktop. Am I likely to have interference between the two mouses of same model, etc? Or are they sophisticated enought to avoid each other's signals?

IMO it's all a big fuss over nothing.
Please forgive me, I have to be true to myself and disagree. IMO it's all a big fuss over SOMETHING!
Something vaguely similar happened to me many years ago, and ,, well,, enough.
I promise to not carry on a flame over this, just my 2 (1943) cents.
On possible uses-- how about form bricks of it, and then you could build shit brick houses! 
Add me to your list of admirers- a very neat and well thought-out tutorial.
Just a little feedback:
A- On my little LCD monitor (1024 x 768 display)the explanatory text is chopped off at the right end on the longer lines.
B- I think the title could be "Making holes through a solid cylinder". I would like to see you make the cylinder a hollow tube, and make the "cross perforations" appear to be as if a hollow pipe had holes drilled through the sides.
Of course, I may be missing something, maybe my settings?
Again- thanks for the nice work 
Edit: Checked it on my laptop (1440 x 900) and got better display, although text still seems to be biased toward right side of screen. Hope I don't seem to picky, just feedback.

Ok I have looked all over the forum and the web and I can not find info or a tutorial that shows me step by step on how to make a model from a photo.I know how to import photos into SU,But thats about it.So if anyone could tell or show me how that would be great.
Thanks
Hello!
This link may be a good starting point. I'm sure you'll be getting lots of good advice very soon, but if you're up and checking the forum, this link should be of some interest...
Open the link and scroll about halfway down to CADkeen's post..
Actually, the whole thread is a great read if you have the time.
Wow-- I'm at the "current" end of the thread! What a read this has been! All through my school days I drew 2 things: girls and cars. That was a long time ago.
I'm old now, and STILL fascinated with those 2 things.
One thing I'd like to see you do is draw some designs based on the classics of the thirties- the "streamlined" "art-deco" era. Cars, that is, not women, unless of course, you have some Sketchup techniques that are not documented.
Example.............

Hey!!..GreenToaster...someone has stolen your designs...

Really kinda scary huh? One thing about that Scion- the rear view mirrors are totally useless. I understand artistic license, but that is ludicrous.
Actually, I hate outside mirrors- no way to make them look good and be functional.
I've been messing with Sketchup (free versions) since Google pointed me at 'em, but I think I'll always be a noob.
Running XP SP2 (till SP3 comes in). I'm considering Ubuntu OS and wondering if there are issues involving SU free version's? Any other comments about Linux related to Sketchup? I know almost zero.
Another thing- If I purchase plugins- like that AWESOME Sudivide and Smooth- how should I protect them in event of "changes" to my OS or SU upgrades or whatever?
Is it just simply copy my Plugins folder and Models, etc. to a SD chip or CD?
Hello Spacecow
I was thinkin' -- for the sketchup group you could post your skp model with all those varied views and we could download in one package. Either here, on 3D Warehouse.
Of course, you may want to keep more control of the content.
Either way- looks like a lot of hard work-- nice!
Darn Fred, what the heck is that- some kind of a brassiere? Cool!

Did somebody say something?
Must be another invisible thread.
HAHAH - I was dealing with being INVISIBLE, not INAUDiBLE!!
Thanks guys for quick answers.
(Sometimes I'd rather a have a fast answer than a correct answer!)

Just curious, no biggie...
I enabled "hide my online status" on User Control Panel - Board prefs...
When I check to see who's online, I see my user name in italics. Does this mean I'm "hidden", or can other users still see that I'm on the forum?

Looking at the Car de jour-- Fri Jan 18, 2008 10:52 am
This is strange- When I saw this one, I INSTANTLY thought--- COPS! Why?
I can hear "Bad boy, bad boy... whachagonna do..
So put some lights on that dude... and paint it... and... and..
Am I sick or what?
Lovin' your vehicles- I haven't got to the last post yet, but I'm hoping see some kind of tutorial, or info, a little more than "here's another one!" 
Edit: Okay- I AM the last post! Still feel same about that cop car.
Dude---- you rock!
Your car...(couldn't use the Img tool)

A little OT, but you reminded me of an idea I thunk up over 20 years ago-- (I'm one of those people who are always coming up with ideas that entertain or frighten)... I was thinking why not embed plates in a roadway where there is a lot of heavy truck traffic? I was a sonar guy in the navy, so I was aware of piezoelectric theory.
No one ever took me serious, but I never heard a reason why those trucks couldn't generate a lot of power.
Software for the crowd farm.. uhhh-- Maya?
help me!!! I have more ideas.. how about plug in a bunch of kids to tramplolines? 
Hey--- what a nice thought- thanks guys!!
I didn't get a cake this time- my sweetie got me an F-150 super cab with small V-8. Not new, but low miles. We LOVE it!! (Except for the part where we have to pay for it)
Ross- Great Song- I like upbeat songs to listen to. When I play my guitar, I play sad songs. Crazy, huh?
I almost didn't check the forum- been a long day. I go to bed now with smile on barley-pop face 
Hmmm- glad I took my SecondLife avvy out- just in time 
Some out-takes... yup, at one time I was "Spider John"
