- How about making the mouse pointer move further across the screen for the
- same amount of mouse movement! My wrist gets sore from having to pick up
- my mouse so often and put it back down just because I've run out of
- mousepad space. (I'm using a 1024x768 resolution. Can't IBM skip some
- pixels or something?) I remember hearing that they made a double speed for
- PS/2 mice or something similar a while back, but what about everyone else?
