Not sure what that means.  Are you using a cabled mouse or a bluetooth 
mouse?  I haven't used Bluetooth a lot, but when I do it has problems 
more frequently that I expect.  The touchpad is turned off to prevent 
palm wipes from messing things up and I would have to dig out another 
mouse to debug a Bluetooth mouse issue.  Also, the selection of 
Bluetooth mice is a lot less than others.

A netbook, which is what I use to try to research not being about to 
connect to the Internet.  I use a mail client and don't like to go 
around that.  I use it as a data base for communications and sending 
email from a web client messes up how it works for those emails.

My board test fixture controller program opens a socket to a telnet 
window as a debug display.  When I first got this computer it would not 
connect to the durn telnet display no matter what.  I got a lot of 
advice on debugging including wireshark and never got it working.  This 
thing is just possessed.
