Attached.

Looks like the second one, 1301.

Why the enforcing? Seems like needless inflexibility to me.

Fantastic. Looks like pmount and labels make it fairly easy to do.

It's definitely debatable. I keep reaching for the Network icon to get
to mine though, so I figured I'd point it out.

It's a Logitech MX700 USB. I've noticed a strange double click effect
