My mouse has been spewing out long lines of gibberish whenever I try to use a capital letter. Now it’s not doing it because I’m telling you about it.
I have just loaded a new image. All right, where’s the stream of gibberish? Ain’t there. Patty’s watching me. You are reading this. The computer waits till I’m alone.
Patty knocked a bunch of crumbs out of the keyboard. That seems to have solved the problem. I hope.
P.S.–Would you believe it? Crumbs in the keyboard! That really was the problem. Live and learn.
Ah, yes, crumbs in the keyboard. That’s why you need a mouse, to eat the crumbs. Oh, wrong kind of mouse? 🙂 🙂
Note: Do NOT attempt to have your computer mouse eat the crumbs. There will be Problems. Come to think of it, was it the villainous-looking rat in your illustration who left the crumbs there in the first place? You have to stop leaving pretzels out for the rats. They’re messy eaters.
I never would’ve thought of it–crumbs in the keyboard. After Patty banged them out, the problem went away. I wish we could do that with Congress.
LOL, yes that would be great. Usually, when my mouse does nutty things, it is low battery.
No idea, on this one. Reboots are known to work wonders, however.
Well, it really did turn out to be crumbs in the keyboard!
A common problem. When I did general IT, I would buy dozens of inexpensive keyboards and gave them out freely if someone spilled a soda or got crumbs in their keyboard. Usually, I figured that most users would go through about a keyboard every 2-3 years.
It would never have occurred to me to shake crumbs out of the keyboard.
Happens all the time.
