On the new screen of my new Mac, the cursor every now and then jumps into a remote corner. I replaced the mouse by another, but the same thing happens. Both mice are Apple Pro Mouse with the red light underneath. How can I tame my mice's wanderlust? Greetings from cold Italy Martin | | | Make the surface less slippery... | Oct 24, 2003 |
and your mice will slow down! I've found that even barely reflecting surfaces (my desk, if it's too clean increases dramatically the wanderlust of the mouse. It starts dancing polka!

if you use optical mice. I had big problems with my Logitech optical mouse (on PC, but this does not matter), until I discovered, that the reason was the mouse pad I was using. It was a black and white comic picture. Now I use a simply blue one - the mouse is not jumping anymore... Kind regards Jerzy | |

that did work! I don't use my mousepad anymore (ther was a cat on it, to boot), and it's OK! By the way my European school received a delegation of Polish headmasters last week... | | | If you were a mouse... | Oct 27, 2003 |
