No need. I don't use Windows for the Internet. You should try that and

stop using an antiquated, vulnerable and exploitable OS.

They've been given to you in spades but you couldn't see them due to the

*fact* that your head is in the sand.

Even OE will let you reread the thread. It can even be configured to

bottom post. It will not be updated.

Then you admit you have no idea what you're talking about? You speak from

emotion rather than fact.

I have a Logitech wireless mouse that does not have an on-off switch.

I bought a small velvet bag to carry this mouse (and batteries) in after I pull the batteries out

when traveling with it.

I have a Microsoft wireless mouse that also has no on/off switch so I pull

the batteries from it whenever I travel :-)

Instead of pulling the batteries just move one of them enough to put a piece

of paper or plastic between it and the contact. Leave enough out to get a

hold on it for removal. If you get lucky it might be possible to pull the

insulator without removing the battery door. Mouse makes a good battery

carrier that way too. YMMV

I see we've got some clever dicks here! ;-)



But if you are going to go to all this bother to save a penny, why not have

a mouse with a proper tail in the first place?



As far as my personal experience has been, the tail never gets in the way

anyway. And you are far less likely to mis-lay the mouse, forget it or lose

it.



Why is the world so obsessed with doing everything wirelessly?



But then what does one expect of a world obsessively practising "safe sex"

at the expense of losing half the the joy of sex? ;-)
