animation.gif Hey, just wanted to let you all know that I’m still here and want to extend thanks to Evan for holding down the fort. For the last week (and for a few more days) I’ve been on an unexpected multicountry European business trip. I should resume my normal posting activities sometime mid week. I appreciate all your patience.

Weighing in at only 40k in size, you can have a free program that will automatically move the Windows cursor out of the way when you type. Useful? Maybe. Good to know about? Yes!

    I’ve been using mouseaway for a few month now, it’s great but has one drawback, in MS office, you need to ctrl + click to clic on a hyperlink and the soft moves the cursor away, before you do. You have to be very fast to fool it :-)

    Thank goodness you’re back, this Evan guy is ruining the site! :D

    Dude, I can’t believe I had to do Apple news! Ugh!

  5. Microsoft’s mouse drivers have this feature natively, so you won’t need to install/run third party software. Although I rather you trust the third party over Microsoft :P (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/Download.mspx)

    can’t you enable “hide cursor when typing” in Windows… I could have swore it was a feature buried in there somewhere…. maybe only in office or something.
