They all felt like somebody took out the little ball, dipped it in rubber cement, and put in back in." I just pop the ball out every few days, blow on it and the mouse hard enough to knock the dust off, pick all the cat hairs off, and pop it back in. My mouse still runs the smoothest of any I know, despite being more than three years old. A little preventive maintenance goes a long way. "the Mac mouse pointer catches up with the mouse position in one big jump about 1/2 second after you've moved it there." Just want to point out that this is a dirt problem, and not hardware or software related. :-) _________________________________________ ! Thunder Island - Information Gateway \ ! --------------- \ !
