<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>At the last meeting I reported my problems with
jumpy optical mice.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I had similar problems with five mice made by
Logitech, Microsoft, and a generic</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>manufacturer. Every few minutes, the mice would
cause the cursor to jump unpredictably to the top or bottom of the screen.
The cursor would then have to be dragged back to the working area. An old
fashioned ball mouse had no such problems although ball mice have their own
annoying deficiencies.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>On the advice of one of the members, I tried a
laser mouse. I bought a Logitech MX400 Performance Laser Mouse for
about $50. It solved my problems. It gives smooth and reliable response. I
had previously thought that the word "laser" in mouse descriptions was just
advertising hype and provided no actual advantage over an optical
mouse.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thank you to whoever it was that made that
suggestion.</FONT></DIV>
