I have an electronic mouse with a cord and haven't had any issues with it. In my case, I prefer it to a cordless one. As I am getting more prone to do, I sometimes nod a tad while doing repetitive inputting to the computer. With the cordless mouse, when it falls from my hand to the floor all I have to do is find the cord and pull it back up. If I had a cordless one, I'd have to find my "picker-upper" to get it back on the desk. So I'd say that the corded type are more senior oriented than the cordless. <G> Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: <ENC6@aol.com> To: <SENIOR-NEWBIE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2005 10:09 PM Subject: Re: [SR-NEWBIE] Optical Mouse and Start Menu > Hi Walt, > Yes...

I have a corded mouse for two reasons: 2 1/2 year old grandson and pet ferret. Both like to run off with my stuff... the cord keeps my mouse attached to my computer which is too heavy for grandson and ferret to carry off. ;-] Richard Pence wrote on 05/18/2005, 11:16 PM: > I have an electronic mouse with a cord and haven't had any issues with > it. > > In my case, I prefer it to a cordless one.
