   If you ever tried to make very small circular movements with the

This is as nothing compared to the way the Wimp jumps the pointer
around the screen for alerts and menus etc and doesn't restore it
afterwards which means you have to keep picking the mouse up to
reposition it (unless you have an infinite mouse mat and long arms
;-D).
