546743 2007-05-04 05:12:00 3. Put tape over the mouse optics


"You can't put clear tape on an optical mouse, you idiot!" :lol: 		pcuser42 (130)
546744 2007-05-04 05:15:00 Double sided tape would work well on a mouse. Graham L (2)
546745 2007-05-04 05:44:00 "You can't put clear tape on an optical mouse, you idiot!" :lol:

Who said "clear"? 		Strommer (42)
546746 2007-05-04 06:08:00 taping a bit of paper also works well..

did that to my teacher last year....
damn it was funny......
i think the entire classes laughter when the teacher was trying to work out what was wrong with his mouse kinda gave it away... 		Dannz (1668)
546747 2007-05-04 06:10:00 "You can't put clear tape on an optical mouse, you idiot!" :lol:

You cant as in it wont stick to it? or you cant as in its pointless and wont do anything?
Well i just put some on mine and it is harder to use 		Chrisn (9819)
546748 2007-05-04 06:42:00 I once took a screenshot of a co-workers desktop and set it as the wallpaper. I then set the taskbar on auto-hide and the desktop icons not to be displayed. Rather entertaining watching him trying to work out why he couldn't click or open anything. :D :nerd: Jen (38)
546749 2007-05-04 08:22:00 I once took a screenshot of a co-workers desktop and set it as the wallpaper. I then set the taskbar on auto-hide and the desktop icons not to be displayed. Rather entertaining watching him trying to work out why he couldn't click or open anything. :D :nerd:

You naughty girl :D 		dolby digital (5073)
546750 2007-05-04 09:16:00 I must admit that last year I started on a VB6 program that was going to replicate my teacher's desktop as closely as possible. This program would then display all sorts of message's if various icons were clicked.
I even managed it so that some of his programs would actually be opened if the appropriate icon was clicked...
Alas, I never got around to completing the program (annoying little thing called study) and so I never had the pleasure of trying it out :(
In fact, the project files are probably still sitting on the school server. Maybe I should go and recover them... 		Sherman (9181)
