I’m super impressed with the state of that thing after 32 years. Looks almost brand new.
I actually thought this was maybe from Access for Windows 95, but it turns out that’s the artwork of the very first version of Access.
I assume it was once with a white background lol
I don’t think I ever paid for a mousepad. This was probably your dad’s first one and it’s probably still working good because they don’t really wear from use
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Designs in the 90s were so cool.
I’m surprised there’s not discoloring from a mouse sliding across for 32 years.
made in italy
its the ferrari of mouse pads
This reminds me of my buddy’s Gateway cow-print mousepad, it’s filthy as shit but he’s used it for over 15 years. Respect lol
Something tells me he’s a gentle soul
i see no problem, my main mouse pad is probably 30 some years old too, came with encarta
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
This was a great app in its day!
It’s like driving a classic car.

I still use my 20+ year old best buy mouse pad… But it is in nowhere near that good of a condition, lol. The shit I’ve spilled on it over the years… (luckily, no actual shit as far as I’m aware).
My dad used a magazine from the early 2000s as a mousepad until I got him an actual mousepad a year or so back 😂
I should get one of those for my access hating coworker
I don’t believe this mouse pad has been in use 32 years and is this clean. Bs
Is it supposed to be yellow, or is that the aging process? 😐
It’s the Logitech mouse that all dads use! Even mine did!
NICE
I’m gonna foster a guess that your dad is INFINITELY better with databases than I am
I *so* wanted to be good at Access, but goddamn the queries killed me
Same desk too.
Perfect for helping him surf the information superhighway!
Ok, I have mouse pad envy, and I don’t even use one anymore.
Some clean-ass wrists
[Definitely supposed to be white]
