I used to have that exact same keyboard and mouse. Was the first non-ball mouse as well lol.

Pretty sure I have used that exact keyboard at some point. Nostalgia. Your desktop icons are making my OCD itch though.

Yeeees! Games were in upper right corner, media stuff upper left, communication (mIRC and MSN Messenger) lower right and everything else lower left corner.
