ReCalibrate Your Mouse for '09

MOUSE CALIBRATION

You should actually do this every year. Even more often is recommended by computer gurus if you spend a lot of time on the computer.



I was shocked to see how well this works, and how far off mine was!



To re-calibrate your mouse, click and hold on the Y below, then drag the Y toward the g.

If it doesn't work immediately, you might want to clean your mouse, as the calibration is off.

You idiots. You'll believe anything

I'M SURE YOU WILL ALSO RECOMMEND THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS ONCE YOU SEE HOW MUCH SMOOTHER AND BETTER THE MOUSE WORKS AFTER BEING CALIBRATED! AMAZING..

Great!! Thanks for reminding me. I forgot last year and this thing hasn't worked right all year. Any ideas where I can get a keyboard update download?

I just upgraded my power cord (the regular part that plugs in).
Good idea to do every year as well.
The insulation does wear out and it is better to be safe than sorry..

Next is i replace all the little screws on my laptop and then I can consider my laptop as having completed its annual refurbishment. ;-)

I need to upgrade my computer's cup holder. It seems too flimsy to hold a large beverage.

My flat screen has to be re-flattened every so often. And I can't keep my hard drive as hard or as long as I used to.

Milt - your hard drive may not improve over the next ten years. Just sayin'.

Best,

These are all good annual maintenance suggestions along with re-polishing your muffler bearings, and tightening the nuts that are attached to your joystick.

Yep, and my volume control seems to be out of whack lately.
