Warning Sidetrack Alert:
I taught computers to high school students in the 90's and I didn't realize but one of the funnier students was using the mouse connected to the computer to his right and vice versa. He called me over and said there is something wrong with his computer. He said he could get close to the icon but just as he was about to click on it, it would move away.

I said let me try. He was controlling the cursor on the screen that I was looking at and I was moving his mouse around but only looking at my screen. I thought I was getting close to the icon, it would move away.

I took the mouse apart, cleaned the rollers, and the little mouse ball, rebooted, I tried everything before he showed me.

I couldn't stop laughing and then pulled it on a half dozen other teachers and students.
