mouse hiding tips

[JohnKleeb]

As some may know I got my mouse back by being sneaky and finding it, how do I hide it without unhooking it yet not having my parents find out. *spy music* please help.

1. Get a cordless one?

7. Check Out A Notebook Mouse

I noticed some the other day for Notebooks when I had to replace the one my cat nailed. They're optical, wireless, small and unobtrusive.

9. This is the problem with being unemployed and lacking money

10. Picked one up for around $16.00

a week or two ago and it is great.

2. I just got a new one

A wheel mouse optical device. My old one kept collecting dust and the wheels got all clogged up. It turned into a real pain.

12. I have one of those, as well. He's not yet 49, but he is a

tight-assed, self-rightous Freeper. He also hogs the computer just like John's brother tried to. I have thoughts of beating him up, but he's bigger and stronger than I am.:-(

15. Bigger And Stronger Is Often Dumber

My Brother has always outweighed me by at least 80 pounds, but I have never had a problem getting the best of him. My cousin from 'Nam taught us a hand-to-hand combat move once; I listened, my brother didn't and wound up 6 feet up a wall and sliding down head first.

17. I could probably use some combat moves

My brother is prone to violence. He's not stupid, but he comes off that way because he stubbornly clings to the belief that he's still a young kid. It's really too bad that we don't get along with our brothers. Life is too short, but it's their choice.:shrug:

13. Why don't you learn to navigate without the mouse?

That way, if such an incident ever happens again, you are prepared. Basically you use tab (forward) and shift+tab (backward) to move around. It's primitive but get's you by. And once you're in AIM, you're mostly typing anyway.

14. A very clever idea

Thanks for the tip!:toast:

16. Why did they take your mouse away? n/t

18. You see I got a pest little brother, and he brings out my inner asshole

so I got grounded, cruel eh

[Rhiannon12866]

19. You also have a big sister, John

What can I do to take care of him?:-)

20. Take your punishment

You did something you shouldn't have. Take the punishment your parents have decided to give you.
I was once the "pest" little brother- my siblings both picked on me to no end. I think my sister stopped after I threw her into a door when I was 12 or 13 (she was 17 or 18 at the time)
My brother stopped when I hit 14, I had a growth spurt that put me 20 pounds heavier and 3 or four inches taller- he has yet to catch up. It is a sad fact that he was paid back with interest for his actions.

21. You don't NEED a mouse...

you can use the directional arrow keys on the number pad to move the cursor (just go into Accessibility Options in Control Panel, go t the "Mouse" tab, and click the box for "use Mouse Keys"). Slower, but it works. and you can use the tab key to move between tabs, window elements, etc., and space to activate...not that hard once you figure it out.
