   Unfortunately, the author or QMouse (Lymon Epp, a person I used to know
personally) sold his computer a couple of years ago and hasn't been seen
since.  Therefore, I am afraid that there will likely never be another
update to QMouse.

   I don't like this either, as QMouse is still my favorite all-purpous
screen-blanker/mouse-blanker/mouse-accelerator/hotkeys-program.  I just
hope someone eventually comes out with a good replacement for this fine
program.  Unfortunately, thus far nobody has.
