hey guys I hate PCs and Macs equally at the moment
Trevor Smithson
after the mouse has been unplugged. Has to be restarted.
My PC, oh so wonderfully, has the very same problem, except it has to
be fully shut down to fix the problem. Yay!
Why you ask? Fuck if I know and fuck if I care, all I know is that at
the end of 2009 I shouldn't be having to deal with this sort of
fuckery.

Is this all mice, or just one in particular?

Gee, try a different mouse maybe. Or keep trying it on ten different
computers and when they all have the same issue blame it on ten
computers. USE YOUR HEAD MAN!!!!

The simple fact of the matter is that trouble usually follows the user,
not the platform. It's YOU, not the Mac or the PC. You are in that
segment of the population that just can't handle technology. It may be
the way you approach or use technology but nothing "just works" for you,
from computers to DVD players. Technology just craps on you and your
ilk. It's your lot in life. Just live with it.

So George Graves.
The problem is not with Trevor, it's you and your mental defect.

My son, I shall pray for your technical ineptitudes.
I suggest you get a Bluetooth mouse.
After which your penance will be ten Hail Mary's.
Go in peace.

At least with the Mac, you don't have that problem.
Because you don't have the choice of PS/2 ports. I'm not sure that's
actually a good thing, but there it is. Anyways, how often do you need
to swap mice or keyboards?

Also, sometimes it takes up to 30 seconds to recognize the "new" device.
I know the F-word can be a noun, adjective and verb; but I've never
heard it with an "ery". Thanks for the first laugh of 2010.

IOW, you're saying it takes technological skill to use a mouse!
You Maccies are at your funniest when you're trying to dismiss a Mac problem
by blaming the user. ROTFLMAO!!!!
John Slade
Sounds like a faulty mouse to me.
