Mouse Tracking Frustration
Created | Updated Apr 17, 2002
The pain, suffering, torment and general frustration arising from the lack of manouverability of a well used, (and oftenly abused) computer peripheral commonly known as a mouse. This frustration is commonly found in university computer rooms where dust, lint, sticky traces of coca-cola, coffee and take away fried rice grains, have been injected into the tracking ball, screwing up the internals of the mouse. This usually results in the inability of blocking text, or drawing in CAD, or simply pressing the "OK" button (although this can be achieved by a simple combination of the "TAB" and "ENTER" keys). This common frustration is not helped by the fact that university computer support persist on permanently gluing the mouse ball holder shut, leaving the mouse ball totally inaccessible.
