I thought I'd share something we found out. I've been having trouble with my computer......it would freeze up, take forever to open documents and in general was a PITA. DH was going to take the computer in tomorrow to be "fixed". Somewhere in his genius brain he got the idea that the mouse may be the problem. He insisted we go to town and get a new mouse. Okay -- I didn't believe it -- after all, the mouse worked okay - it was the COMPUTER! Well, I gave in, we bought a new mouse and WOW! I can't believe the difference! The computer programs open faster, no freezing in the last 2 hours and I'm one happy camper!!! I especially have had problems with my online banking.......would bake a cake while waiting for it to open....NOT any more!!!!!
I hope this can help some of you and save $$ so you can buy more fabrics in the future!

Wow, thanks please let us know what kind of a mouse you bought as it sounds like it is a nice one
and where did you buy it from?
Several months ago my mouse wasn't working, unplug it and wiped the connection off with a dry cloth and working again

Bought a wireless Logitech Mouse M305 from Target for $19.00 It has a itty-bitty-teeny-weeny "nano receiver" ---a thing that plugs into your port. So darn tiny I'm sure I'd lose it. I unplugged the wired mouse, plugged in that nano receiver and it was off and running!!!! SO simple!
