How far does the average computer mouse travel?
The average computer mouse travels about a mile in a week.
So, that would mean that it travels about 3-4 miles per month.
Therefore, a computer mouse travels between 36-48 miles per year.
Mouse was first introduced by?

How do you fix a wired mouse that's getting juice from an eMac but the cursor won't move?
More then likely one of the wires going into the mouse is probably broken. 99 percent of the time it will break from all the movement at the body part. Depending on the mouse manufacturer it can be fairly hard to repair.
It's best to just buy another mouse to see if the new one works before working on the old mouse.
It's just a matter of cutting the wire about 2 inches away from the body of the mouse and re-soldering the wires back into place.
When it comes down to the mouse itself, there are three general types.
A one-button mouse (there is only one button on the mouse, and it acts as a left-click by default), a two button mouse (the left button acts as a primary click, and the right acts as an alternative - or right - click), and a mouse with a mouse wheel (generally two buttons with a sometimes-clickable wheel in between them. This wheel is used for faster scrolling). In mouse styles, there can be a USB (often is faster, more accurate, and includes more features), MousePort (usually GREEN in color on the port, more stable and reliable on older systems), and wireless (found most often on Apple Macintosh computers, uses Bluetooth or radio USB to connect to a computer). Then, inside the mouse, making the pointer move, you have the choice of a track ball (found more often in older mouses, recessed into the mouse and partially exposed underneath, rolls on a surface to detect movement by turning internal gears on an x- and y-axis), Laser (found on modern mouses, especially wireless ones. Uses a red laser reflected off of a surface into a camera to detect change in texture of a surface during movement) and Blue Laser (same technology as a standard red laser, usually more accurate because blue light has shorter, and thus more, wavelengths than red light. Blue lasers can be found in many new Microsoft wireless mouses).

The mouse should be placed on the same side of the keyboard as the users dominate hand (i.e... A right handed person would place the mouse to the right of the keyboard).

What are the advantages and disadvantages of call centers?
Advantages:
Today's world is full of opportunities, but mainly for those who have a degree and good references. For those who just have a degree with no experience, a call center is a heaven for them.
You just need to have a sense of languages and communication and that's it!
The amount you may earn in day shift will be half of what you may earn in night shifts. You can make a career in a call center just by following simple steps.
don't jump like a monkey from one company to another stick to one good organization and you will be promoted as per your abilities.
Second line (who answer more difficult questions or who deal with VIP customers) make more money that first line (starting) agents. If you get promoted to supervisor, you will see your salary increase, but also your responsibilities.
Disadvantages:
Health will be the first disadvantage. Working in a night shift affects your life physically in many ways. The shifts are rotational and accordingly you have to rotate the times of your meals and sleeping. You hardly eat at home and may need to rely on cafeteria food, ready-made meals or local food stores.
Stress in the work environment, alone already a health risk, may also lead to other unhealthy traits like smoking, drinking, binge eating or drug abuse.
Sitting still in one spot for long times is also a health risk, but can be mitigated by taking sufficient breaks, drinking enough water and stretching if you feel stiff. This adds to the eye strain you might develop from staring at a screen for continuous hours. This may also lead to headaches.
Your social life is very irregular, and you will have difficulty planning or making family meetings and relationships.
Try F-TIPP. It's a new product designed for people who are irritated by laptop touchpads. http://www.ftipp.com The touchpad mouse interface is often challenged by skin oil, dirt, and food particles. We rarely will wash our hands just to use our computer. If you have the owners manual, check to see if there is a section on cleaning the touchpad. You must be careful about cleaning this device, as it must remain sensitive to the presence of your finger in order to work. A mild soap solution in a damp sponge will probably clean the touchpad without getting water into the case of the laptop. Avoid rubbing alcohol, lighter fluid, or strong detergents, such as Dawn. Do not pour liquid onto the touchpad, and do not rub the touchpad with an abrasive pad.
If what you're seeing is the entire word being highlighted when you click & drag on a single letter, what you're seeing is Word's default setting to select the entire word when you select part of a word. You can turn this off by deselecting the option in the Options dialog, the Edit tab.
If you're seeing something else, please describe the problem better, either by modifying the question or by explaining the problem in detail by editing this answer, and one of us FAQ Farmers will change this answer to suit the problem.
You may also want to look at WordTips, at the link attached to this FAQ. Note that a search for "highlight," though, will give you more items describing Word's actual highlighting feature, which gives one or more characters a colored background, much like using a highlighter pen.
It sounds like a sticky shift key to me-are you frequently getting stuck in all caps as well? if you are then you'll just have to hit the shift key again to get it un-stuck until you get the key fixed!

Why wont your mouse pad work and also frozen in the middle of the screen?
I assume you mean why won't the mouse work? The mouse pad is just a pad placed underneath some mouses (or mice) to improve their operation.
If your mouse is not working, it'd help to have some more information on what type of mouse it is. If it plugs into the computer, check it is plugged in correctly and into the correct port (usually a USB port) and ensure the cable is not damaged. If it is wireless, make sure it has new batteries correctly inserted into it (assuming that it uses batteries), etc. Again, it'd help to know what kind of mouse you have before I could help, as there are many different types and each type operates in a different way.
EDIT: Sorry, just noticed this was posted under laptops, and realized you might have meant the touchpad you find on most laptops. If that's what you mean, then I'd guess the problem probably isn't something you could fix yourself - if the problem is that the laptop touchpad isn't working (and you've tried restarting the computer a few times) I'd suggest taking your laptop to a computer technician.
