OMG I had no clue
DAB
happily drinking coffee, fired up the PC and grabbed the mouse and it was
dead, I confirmed this by checking the little lite on the top and yep it's
dead. I am still half asleep and wondered where my box of bats was, ok
found em, now shit how do I open the damn panel to put the new bat
in.....sooooo I lite up a smoke and think well I guess I can use the touch
pad for a while, then figger it out when I get home from work. That lasted
about 2 seconds. So I look again on the mouse's ass and yep there is the
cool slot the plug slides in when traveling.....hummmmm what is that little
button.....there is writing but I'll be damned if I can read what it
says.....soooo get the old magnifies glass out and WTF says on/off.....well
it was in the on position so I move on to the rest of the bottom looking for
clues and see a little push button.....bingo push that and the top pops open
and I yank it off and there is the bat....ok get it replaced and then go
back to that on/off switch....yes if you switch to the off position the
little lite goes off......LOL....now if I can remember to switch it off I
can make the bats last twice as long.
Amazing I never knew the mouse had a off switch....and the little bastard
didn't tell me either.
Hope this was informative and now everybody turn your mouse's over and see
if they have on/off switches. Oh and report back with your results ;-)

In the belfry?
Get a trackball marble and you don't have to slide a mouse around. Can even
put in in your pocket and work sitting at the Starbucks and make people
think you're playing with yo'sepf.

Dang, I had to look at the mouse I use with my laptop to see if it had a
button and yep, sure does. Says "connect" by it.

I don't worry a lot about the battery as I don't use the laptop every day.
Even if you keep it switched off, I'd check the battery visually
periodically because you don't want it to corrode on you without you knowing
it. I used to have a battery mouse for my desktop PC and it was glitching
on me. One day I heard this weird hissing noise in the room when it was
quiet and I looked around to find out what was making the noise. No easy
task when you consider there were multiple computers in the room and the
fans and hard drives are making noise. Turns out it was the wireless mouse
and when I opened it, the battery was literally foaming acid. Kind of
freaky. I replaced it with a USB mouse. I only have the small
battery-operated wireless mouse for my laptop, but I keep an eye on that
battery.

LOL no I will pass on that......thanks for the suggestion.
DAB
Ok I use it everyday at least an hour sometimes more if playing games. It's
a Logitech travel mouse for my laptop. I came home and wondered why the
lite was off.....had to switch it back on<g>
Ferd.Berfle
Convenient to not have to have a surface for a mouse.
DAB
Well I have small hands and the little notebook type travel wireless mouses
are just the right size so my hand never gets cramped, have a small mouse at
work too.

mouse 'bat'?
DAB
the trackball......I have small hands and they don't make em small enough
for me. bat = batteries
Ferd.Berfle
they fits munchkins just fine
Whetspaught
says...
They must be near-microscopic, if you can't find a good trackball to
wrap them around. Maybe it's your technique... try gently cupping it at
first, and then gradually explore the whole ball. Don't be afraid to
roll it around with your fingers or thumb, depending on the size of the
ball. HTH
DAB
LOL reminds me of that Duck thingy....a radio show or something but at the
end the poor Duck had to get a towel<G>

Ellen is kinda iffy......wears the clothes but also Makeup so not sure if

Hey do you watch Survivor? That and Amazing Race oh and Project Runway are
the only Reality shows I like....well I did watch that Bachelor show a few
weeks ago to see what was soo terrible and one of the girls he gave a rose
had hooked up with a stage hand....how dare she ;-) the poor guy was
defastated [sp]......well that must be a word but not the one I wanted.

She strikes me as a pretty cool person, and ALL the girls

straight, are really into her.

I've watched The Amazing Race, but I'm not fanatical about
it like I am about Survivor. The rest of those shows don't
really interest me. Big Brother's pretty lame IMO.
DAB
LOL Russell had me glued and I can't wait for the next one.

I don't own one, but I think the new Hyundais are pretty
nice cars. Hyundai obviously thinks so too, since they're
willing to give them a 100,000 mile warranty. I think
Daewoo makes electronics... Dunno for sure, I just like
saying "Daewoo."
DAB
LOL well I like their politics.......knock em out and pull hair......saw
video a while back of somekind of meeting and it cracked me up.....another
group one had locked the opposition out of the room so they busted the door

Hummm not sure where/what is that? Oh is that the resort Island....if so no
but I have read about it......it's also the main place to get married so
maybe if I can snag a General we can hit the beach ;-)
Marilyn
LOL...yep, sometimes you'll see it spelled as Chejudo. No matter, 'cause
it's only the anglicized spelling anyway. It's the place to go on your
honeymoon, so if you snag a general, more power to you.
