An odd problem with a jittery mouse

[arthwollipot]

We used to use Ctrl-Up arrow to flip the screen 180°. Even better was doing the screenshot trick mentioned above, then using Paint to flip the screenshot 180° and setting that as the wallpaper before flipping the screen so that the screenshot looks the right way up. That way, not only do the icons not work, but the mouse works backwards.

Pranks are immature and annoying. Don't do them.

Oh certainly neeeever prank!

It's funny because I can't remember really pranking anyone before or since. Even the supervisors (young guys) would do it. There were like 100 of us in a big room all working in rows. It was fun. Crummy pay but catered lunch.

Good idea with the rotated screen!

I once wrote a little program that would randomly change screen resolution, open and close the CD drawer, reset the mouse position every 5 seconds I think and do all kinds of fun simple things. I never used it though. I had one intended target but naaah.

Not sure if this is a prank but I created and named a street after my dog. All of this happened like 12 years ago. It's not a real street and can cause no harm. I'll just say it's simlar to a driveway. I gave it an address range so it would "stick" and it is still there. Just did a search

Just reporting - all day, no jitter!
