Oh, I wasn't implying you were: just that a mouse had never occurred to me. I am a great believer in having a backup for necessary things: have a backup little TV, toaster oven, rice cooker, electric frying pan: when things die it's always on the weekend at the absolutely worst time when it's impossible to find a replacement. My rice cooker died about a month ago: off to the bin it went and the replacement came out of storage, plugged in and working in a few minutes! Semper Paratus!!

Re: Dead Mouse...


Have to say that yes I do have a spare mouse - but only because I got a new keyboard and mouse with my new pc and as the old one still worked, thought I'd hang on to it in case of emergencies! I have the wireless jobbies - much better I think.

Yes they do go quite often, but I have the rechargeable batteries, so not too bad!
