Oh my GOD! I just cleaned my mouse, cause the cursor was getting cursed. It had filth all up in there on those rollers. I cant believe it, its fun to use again, geez, why'd you guys let me get this thing so dirty and not say anything about it? Its sooo cooooolllll, again.

    You mean you still use a mouse with a ball in it? Mine has a neat little red light at the bottom of it that it fun to play with.

    I JUST got a puter, I'm lucky to even know you can clean a mouse. Actually, I dont want the battery operated mice, and I assume the one you have is a remote type, right? I wouldnt mind having a mouse with a laser type thingy, if it was still powered by electricity, I just hate darn batteries.

    My mouse don't take batteries it plugs in as a ps2 or usb and runs off of the power in the puter. I have the Microsoft intelli mouse with 4 buttons and a wheel, works like a dream, no cleaning or nothing. Heck it don't even need to be used on a mouse pad.

    Rob: I think he has the same mouse as I do. No batteries, it is USB powered. It drives my cats wild trying to catch the red light it emits from the bottom.-Charlie

    The optical mouse must have been stealth designed by someone 5,000 miles from their software operations, otherwise it would would freeze up at least once a day and require bug fixes at least 10 times a year. The manufacturer aside, it is a great product and an enormous improvement over the wheeled types of whatever design. First MacroCrap product since DOS which I have liked.

    I love my intellimouse, nothing like being able to use your thigh as a mouse pad. It is more accurate too, something I am sure you guys can appreciate.

    RUGERNUT3, Hey bud, I'm fine, thanks. Learning a lot about mice just now. I have been doing some milsurp. studying myself. I just got an Eddystone stock from an auction off xbay, and its not the right one, trying to get a hold of the fella to return it or something. Its actually a P-14 stock, an early one, with the volley sight set up, and no finger grooves, and little grooves cut out on both sides next to the barrel channel, just in front of the cross bolt. I'd never be able to find one like this if I wanted it, but here I am with one, and dont need it. If it didnt have those little grooves cut out, I'd keep it and sporterize it for my Eddystone, but I cant see paying 50.00 for it, when I can get a regular sporter stock for less. Oh well, thats what I've been up to lately, learning the hard way. Talk to you later, watch out for the dust bunnies, they'll huddle up around your mouse ball rollers.

    My mouse doesn't have any balls. Maybe I have a female Mouse. That would explain all my computer problems. That gives new meaning to PMS. Post Mouse Syndrome.
