That is so totally unfair! I had to take this test after flying from West coast to East coast, fighting terminal traffic in Dallas, vehicular traffic in Baltimore trying to log in to FG Trivia (had to set up a new account on my brother's new computer, which has NO MOUSE!!) I can't work without a mouse. It's slow enough for me with a mouse . . .because I read every question twice or more. And then I get a 10! Probably the last one I'll ever get. Does anybody care? Wahhh!

And the sweat on my fingertips kept knocking me off. Think I'll buy him a mouse tomorrow.

It's very laudable to have even started under those conditions, the ten ought to get you a medal. Running a web browser without a mouse is postgraduate computer user stuff, most people wouldn't know where to begin.

It's called a touch pad Carla, and I don't like it. I used to use a wireless mouse that kept breaking. So I bought a trust laser mouse that I hooked up to my laptop and it works beautifully.

Oops....sorry...meant to say that I now use a standard mouse with my laptop instead of the touch pad or a wireless laser mouse.

It just goes to show how quickly I can lose touch with what exists on the market. The first laser mouse came out in 2005 by the look of it, and I've never heard of one before now - I've certainly never seen one or heard anyone mention them.

I had a couple; French, Latin, but that's not uncommon. The last 4 days I've been using my daughter's computer which interrupts with little flash messages or goes to another page altogether. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
