      No, it hasn't been a member of my computer family for very long and still doesn't respond well to voice commands. I try not to yell at it too frequently... But sometimes...

      I'll try speaking softly to it in the future if you think that will help.

      [edit] I just realized that it is probably a Chinese mouse and only understand the tone of my voice. That's what I get for using a cheap lowcost unmarked mouse.

        Maybe it's hiding its droppings under your mouse pad, did you check?

          I do check, every time I give it a bath. I run a clean system here.

            Ah, that’s your problem. Mice hate water! And, they love filth! Maybe sprinkling potato chip crumbs around, along with some chocolate grime on pad ...

              Aha! Once again your advice proves invaluable...

              I'll try to bribe my mouse with junk food and report back if it becomes better behaved.

              It occurs to me that I should use crushed Chinese Fortune Cookies for this. My mouse is probably more familiar with those.

                Now I know whats wrong with my mouse. Maybe I need to name my mouse Jamie Summers or Steve Austin since I am running Bionic Bever.
                Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.
