That happens to me occasionally but more often when playing games rather
than serious mousing. :-)

Subject: Mouse Yips

Is anyone finding that they have mouse yips?  What are mouse yips?
Well, I know that golf yips are when you're about to putt, and your hands
just jump for no reason and you ruin the putt.  And I've noticed that my
hand jerks around sometimes when I'm trying to select something
-- using the mouse.

Well, I've been typing for almost 30 years, mousing for 15.  My mousing hand
is getting worse and worse at selecting buttons and icons and the smaller
they are the more difficult selecting is.

The other day, my hand jerked so hard on the mouse that I moved a directory
at the client site.  I don't know which one or where.  I couldn't even tell
anyone which one.  I can't stop laughing about it, but I'm also
investigating voice recognition software :)

Well, that and disability insurance....
