All the while? Sylvester's kid is learning to hunt mice from his Dad, "the mighty hunter", but sees his poor Dad getting his butt kicked left & right by this thing!



Ehhh, don't mind me - it's been a VERY "StRaNgE DaY" for me...

P.S.=> This guy Jim I worked with @ one point had this flipped out mouse that once you attached it to a system? The thing would NOT bootup, nothing, not even "beep codes" from the PC Speaker... was odd!

He'd go pulling that trick on our fellow co-workers/colleagues (as everyone had the same mice, ACER rigs too) & they'd "flip out"!

Then he tried it on me (& I wasn't aware of it) & he said "can you get this machine working?" & I was like "WTF??"

& Then I did the old trick of pulling things off the rig, until it was just keyboard & then it started & he was like "How'd you know?" I was like "Ah, ancient chinese secret Danielsan" (I got lucky, lol)...

Still, was WAY odd, have not seen the like since...

Still, this is "new information" for me, on USB peripherals stopping a screensaver... thanks Cat (so it is NOT a "wasted day" (live & learn etc.)), I would have thought it was some background app running that prohibited screensavers starting (there are those)... apk
