Is there anything tape can’t fix? This techie used it to defeat the Sun
With Friday upon us once more, the weather forecast assumes outsized importance as we all hope for bright days that let readers make the most of their time off.'s reader-contributed tales of tech support that appear on the last working day before the weekend, we bring you a tale of the Sun intersecting with the weekday worries of making computers behave.
This story comes from a reader we'll Regomize as"Elias" who once upon a time tended half a dozen PCs for a construction company that put them to work in a temporary building on a site in Yorkshire. "Initially all was well until the mouse cursor on one of the machines became intermittently 'frisky' and jumped uncontrollably around the screen," Elias told On-Call.
"So our service engineer swapped the mouse with one from another machine, which didn't cure it." The engineer then tried the full gamut of support strategies:"stripped the machine, reinstalled the drivers, replaced it with a complete machine from another position, exhausted his vocabulary of invective, but still the mouse refused to behave."
