The mouse (or perhaps it is the mouse pad) on this
machine is nearly impossible to actually move to where
you want the pointer to go on the screen. It seems that
perhaps some of the rollers are sticking. This is
incredibly annoying on a quickstation that doesn't let you
click away the pre-10 minutes are up warning boxes
by putting the mouse in the window and hitting the return
key. It took me almost the full 2 minutes of my warning
to actually get the window I was typing in back to the
top where I could use it to log out.
