    Recommended age for colonoscopy is 45, I’m pretty sure there are people younger than that who had mice like these. They were still the default well into the XP era.

      Depends on your risk factors my doctors have been trying to get me to do one since 35, I turn 40 soon. I’m just so scared of getting an IV 😭

        Im 38 and going in for my 3rd or 4th one next week. Obviously im high risk, but ive gotten to the point where ive got no shame and no fear of it anymore.

        I cant help with fear of needles or general anesthesia, but the actual process is painless, and youll just be farting for a while after

      I still have one hooked up to an auxiliary box in the homelab. It’s got the old style barrel-shaped 6-pin PS/2 DIN connector, and the box is a new-ish mini-PC with USB C only, so I had to go mouse > USB A adapter > USB C OTG adapter > PC. Cursed setup, but the mouse works just as well as it did when it was new (which is to say: not that great, lol)
