Keeping your computer mouse clean willl ensure its efficiency,
especially if you own a cat.
But fur balls aside,
have you ever noticed that felines walk across the keyboard
and occassionally, inadvertently delete stuff?

If so, the good news is that you can get PawSense,
a software package that detects
when a cat is pawing its way across your keys
(not sure if it detects mouse manipulation yet though)
Check it out at http://www.beyond2000.com/news/Oct_00/story_811.html
(scroll down to the bottom of the page to find it...
just because a little humour is just as good as chocolate)

(who is still enjoying our great Canadian snowfalls,
despite the fact that I wish I'd bought stock options
in salt production this year)
