- Mouse Odometer Version 1.00
-
- Have you ever wondered when it was time to clean the dirt off of your mouse
- ball, or when to polish your reflective mouse pad? Well the Mouse Odometer
- may be just the utility for you.
-
- The Mouse Odometer is a small program that tracks the distance moved by
- your mouse pointer (the arrow on the screen). This should be roughly
- equivalent to the distance actually moved by your mouse.
-
- The Odometer will remember the distance moved and keep a cumulative total
- of the distance your mouse travels from day to day. You can reset the
- total distance at any time. To ensure that an accurate distance is saved
- when you switch off your PC, be sure to do a desktop save or desktop shutdown
- before turning the power off.
-
