Man, my mouse is all wacked out, it only works sometimes. I have to click on something ten times before it opens, or closes...Like if Moms coming downstairs and I need to close a nauty site quickly. Wink

Anyway, think I should get a new one?

I'm going to get a laser cordless, to replace the one I got now. The cats keep getting up on my desk and they leave a buch of hair and dirt that gets caught up in the mouse, causing it to hang up.

Needless to say .............I have to clean my mouse's balls quite frequently! Lips Sealed

.....so I loaded up the plane and moved to Middle-EEEE..........OIL..that is......

Yeah! That's [dang] good!

If you do decide to get a laser mouse, get the Logitech cordless. Bought it for my grandfather a few years ago, and now the whole family owns them. We swear by our Logitechs!

Depending on where you get it: $55-$75 US. Pretty good, considering they will last beyond the computer you are using! Grin

When I first bought my computer 4 years ago, I got an infared mouse. It still works great, although I think the buttons are starting to wear out, and the paint is mostly worn off Grin

Hiya guys

Just teated myself to a brand new wireless Genius kboard and mouse set. Yeah it works fun for everything BUT fs

I'm now cursed(?) by a cursor that multiplies all over my panels, know what I mean?

Say the cursor happens to be stationary in the centre of the panel - I move it, it leaves a stationary flashing cursor behind in the original position and moves to the new position. Then when I move it again it leaves another flashing cursor behind - pretty soon you can hardly see anything but flashing cursors everywhere the mouse has been.

It doesn't happen in the 'view' thru the screen or in spot view - only over the panels themselves. Weird.

I'm messing around but if I can't solve it with drivers or whatever I'll have to go back to my jolly old wired-up kit.

There's progress 4 U

I've been using a Logitech wireless optical mouse for quite a while now and I have to agree, it is a huge improvement over the old roller ball mouse.
I have a couple of sets of rechargable batteries that I rotate through it so I'm not spending a fortune on batteries.
I think I bought mine at Wal-mart for around $50.00, and it has been well worth it, Sock, I suggest if you can't afford one straight up, you should put one on layaway, you won't regret it.

&&Still no linked images allowed around here Paz! Naughty...&&

I guess since it got such a shinning review for, almost everyone, I'll look into it. Maybe I can buy one cheap off the black market... Wink
