Three Dead Mice

"Three dead mice,

Three dead mice,

See how they lie,

See how they lie..."

No…I don’t mean the squeaky kind of mice! I’m talking about computer mice!

I really don’t like using a touchpad on a laptop.

I really don’t like using a mouse that has a wire.

I want a mouse that is wireless!!

I want a mouse that is wireless and works for a long time!!

I opened a desk drawer this afternoon, looking for a wireless mouse for a notebook computer. I found three mice in that drawer sitting upside down with their little beam legs pointing upward. I took them out one by one to test them. You guessed it….three dead mice.

Why don’t wireless mice work for a long time? I seem to be forever replacing them. Am I too hard on the little things? Do I move them around too quickly? Place too much pressure on them? What could I be doing wrong? Maybe I forgot to set the cheese out!

Oh well….off to the store I go to get a new mouse to feed to my computer. Let’s hope the new one is happier and lasts longer than the others!

And this brings us to yet another topic....the packaging! But I'll save that for the next post.
