: For this last month I have had trouble with this board timing out all of the
: time. No one else was saying they were having trouble and I didn't have
: this problem with the online Newspapers I read so I didn't know what to
: think. I bought a new mouse yesterday. A $9.99 optical mouse at OfficeMax
: and now everything is just fine. I had no idea a mouse could cause this
: kind of problem.

It can't. The board was having problems which appear to be corrected now. It's simply a coincidence.

Optical mice are nice, though, since they don't gum up the way mechanical mice do.
