My last couple of Watch Notice emails from eBay have been in French. Quelle weird!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's probably because you married une femme Canadienne.

eBay knows all!
OK, a weird thing happened to my main 'puter overnight. Running Windows XP home. My mouse is "stuck" to one spot on the screen. When I try to drag the mouse, with or without holding any of the mouse buttons down, it starts to move across the screen but quickly "snaps back" to its original location. I've tried using a different mouse in both the PS2 plug and the USB plug with no change.
Needless to say -- Very frustrating! Any ideas? It was working fine 9 hours ago.

Have you tried restarting? 'Cause that's all I've got.

I did and it didn't help. But I'll leave it powered down and try again this evening.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Try Add/Remove Hardware and reinstall the mouse drivers? It should be possible to do without actually using the mouse....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Good lord. We're getting a Mac Mini here to replace a co-worker's PowerMac 7600 (yes, you read that right). We're not getting a monitor from Apple, because -- expensive -- and the purchasing manager just asked me "To be sure, I can order a regular monitor that will not need any device to hook up to the mac, right?"
All I need to tell her is that any new monitor will work with the Mini, right? I don't need to get into "DVI" and other terms that will just confuse her?
