[RTTY] Mouse performance

[Tom Osborne]

Hi Bill

I am using a wireless mouse on both my computers here and don't see the 
'latency' you are seeing.  Mine are instantaneous, just like a wired 
mouse.  Also use a wireless keyboard on both boxes.

The reason I got away from the wired mouse was that it was a place that 
allowed RF to get into the computer.  I put some torroids on the cable 
and that helped, but on 20 it gave me fits.  Since I went to the 
wireless mouse I will never go back to the wired one.  No problems with 
RFI now.

Could be it was just the mouse you were using.  If possible maybe try 
another one???  73
