Weird habits

Post by koan »

I recently realised that when I move my cursor to the top of the screen on FG I maneuver the arrow around the headings.

My cursor moves up the screen, over the messages, then I aim for a clear path between "New Posts" and "Search" then swerve slightly to go between "My Topics" and "My Replies". On the way back, I often aim for between "My Topics" and "Mark Forums Read" then do a twist between "Calendar" and "RPG" with a quick turn around "Groups"

I move my mouse like a car on an obstacle course.

Maybe I'm avoiding when it turns into a hand until absolutely necessary. :confused:

I've just invented an FG game and you can play it from any page.

Race your cursor around the headings, weaving in and out. The object is to go as fast as possible without turning into a hand. :wah:

I know. I'm going to have to practice.

Nomad, I'm sure Dr. G. would consider this practice to be therapy.

I am embarrassed, Koan, that I am sitting here doing this, and even more embarrassed that I am failing dismally. Couldn't we discuss Shakespearean women instead? I wonder how they would have coped with computer mice?

If Cleopatra, they might have made them illegal

If, say, Ophelia, they would probably have just looked at the mouse and thrown themselves in the river.

Portia might have clicked to a page with only one word on it and circled to her heart's content.

I thought Cleopatra might have clasped the mouse to her maidenly breast..

Ophelia - guffaw!! Yes

Lady Macbeth .. I can see her examining the mouse's underside. Picking at fluff. Scraping away goo.
