[Cialug] Which Distro is best?

[David Champion]

That's odd that it works for a while, then stops... have you tried 
unplugging the mouse & plugging it back in?

If you ask around here, someone may have some older hardware they'd be 
willing to part with. :)

p.s. (off topic pedantic being a jerk etc) "Infact" is 2 words... "in 
fact". I've seen that one used a lot lately...  :p
