Drunk Cursor

[JimP]

Things are getting interesting on the forum here. While typing a reply my cursor is taking on a life of it's own. It is jumping all over the place and moving to the far left.

It is only happening on this forum. If you ever saw the old joke called the "drunk mouse" it appears that is what it is doing.

Just while typing this my cursor has been all over the page.

Ignore me, found the problem on my end

Operator error?

Oh, thank goodness it's not a loud drunk!

Next time it happens, just pour some of this on it:

Operator error?

My laptop is starting to have a mind of its own.

For years I have had the touch pad disabled and overnight somehow it activated itself. So now when I am typing a response and the heal of my hand rest on the touch pad the cursor moves all over the place. But it seamed that one time when I was using the Bluetooth attached mouse that it was still jumping all over.

It may be time for a new laptop.

My wife read this to me this morning (I'm left handed). Not sure if this applies to a cursor as well.

Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) – “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.”

Maybe not the cursor that's had a few too many?

I wish.

I poured out my stash of whisky a few years ago, I even cried as some of it went down the drain.

Now I will have one or two beers a month.

For some reason alcohol doesn't appeal to me now that I am in my 70's as it did back when I was in my 20's.

As for the mouse/cursor, I traced it back to a corrupt driver on my laptop. Removed it and reinstalled one and all is back in business. I forgot how much I hate dealing with technical problems.

That might fit in the politics thread as well.

Amen!

It's OK as long as you don't lean lefty.

I just got done sending my state Senator a poison email about three appointees that the Governor of Colorado is trying to get onto the Wildlife Commission. My liberal Senator defiantly isn't going to think that I lean to the left.
