Mouse Odometer Version 1.00
Have you ever wondered when it was time to clean the dirt off of your mouse
ball, or when to polish your reflective mouse pad? Well the Mouse Odometer
may be just the utility for you.
The Mouse Odometer is a small program that tracks the distance moved by
your mouse pointer (the arrow on the screen). This should be roughly
equivalent to the distance actually moved by your mouse.
The Odometer will remember the distance moved and keep a cumulative total
of the distance your mouse travels from day to day. You can reset the
total distance at any time. To ensure that an accurate distance is saved
when you switch off your PC, be sure to do a desktop save or desktop shutdown
before turning the power off.
