Mouse Problem?
I have the latest SM and just lately I can highlight something to delete in the email and when I highlight it and go above and hit delete it will sometimes delete the high lighted on plus another one above it. Even try to highlight and have problems with that also. Any tips or ideas? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Philip Taylor Geez, does not anyone remember the articles in the computer mags about taking apart a mouse back then and cleaning out the dust and cleaning the ball with a rag and alcohol? Still, since the advent of optical mice I've had near zero issues with them. Aside from batteries and the crappy new Microsoft mini mice and that the outside finishes just erode away. But, even if the finish wears off they still function fine.

But I guess if the OP had one, they must exist. Yes. I have seen el cheapo generic mice with buttons failing after a couple months of use; scroll whells that seize up, or scroll erractically; optical sensors that are so bad that you have to dig up your entire collection of old mouse pads before you find a surface they will deign to track. And that's just for _corded_ mice. Don't get me started on battery life and signal reception on generic cordless mice... Cheap keyboards can be even worse, if it can be believed. cheap switches will begin failing (or getting stuck) seemingly the day after the (very limited, if any) warranty runs out. And the ergonomic of those things are uniformly horrible. I mean, five bucks (the difference in price between a generic crappy mouse and a entry-leve one from a reliable brand, down here) is a very low price to pay for comfort and accuracy. And the big-brand ones usually last two or three times as long as the cheapos, so you spend less on the long run. The basic rule of thumb is to buy Microsoft, Logitech or -- if you have more special needs, like if you are gamer -- one of a handful of expensive, boutique brands. But there are some lesser-known good options. I myself have a soft spot for Genius (KYE) hardware -- they are a bit cheaper than MS/Logitech, but are still well-made. My current Ergo T555 laser mouse has served me well for some years now, and the price was quite reasonable for a six-button mouse (and yes, I DO have uses for all those buttons). My current keyboard was expensive but not a big name-brand; the reason being that it's a clone of the very comfortable original Microsoft Natural Keyboard (the original never was available in Brazilian Portuguese layout) made by a company who specializes in point-of-sale hardware. Meaning, this baby is STURDY. It's some seven or years old and still going strong. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
