Computing & Technology > Death of a Mouse

Death of a Mouse

If it isn't the computer, it's the computer's appendages.

Now it's my poor, little mouse that is gasping it's last breath. When I try to use the little wheelie thing in the middle, to scroll up or down, the page keeps jumping back to where I started. Very frustrating. I will purchase a new mouse tomorrow while I'm in town and then give poor mousie the burial it so justly deserves with all the pomp and ceremony befitting a trusted and loyal work mate....nay, friend because, you see, tomorrow is garbage day.

Wish I had seen this sooner. Likely it just needed the little wheels inside that the ball rolls against cleaned. That is easy to do with cotton swabs and alcohol. Of course, a mouse is not that expensive and a new one once every few years is nice.

LOL- You are right- I checked and mine does not have a ball either!

Do they still make those? Mine doesn't have a ball and it's almost ten years old. It doesn't even need a mouse pad but I like the one it's on.

BTW what is the name of the color of your background?

comment by jjoohhnn on July 18, 2012 4:31 PM ()

Teal. It's my favourite colour.

I hope that's what the problem turns out to be.

I am not as kind as Kristy. I loathe and detest mice and rats.

Phew I was afraid to click on this link because I didn't want to hear about the death of a real mouse.

Goodbye, Mousey. You've aided in the posting of many a lovely article by Marg here.
