What a hassle it is sometimes. Wish I knew what the fix is for the mouse proble. have you tried a different mouse? You might find one for a dollar or two at a thrift store. Thanks for the leads on writing opportunities. One recommendation though: much better to provide links to the sites. This can be done by merely right clicking on the site and copying (and pasting in your post) or saving the "send a link" URL. I sympathize with your PC maintenance issues.
