An animal which strews its path with fainting women. As in Rome Christians were thrown to the lions, so centuries earlier in Otumwee, the most ancient and famous city of the world, female heretics were thrown to the mice. Jakak-Zotp, the historian, the only Otumwump whose writings have descended to us, says that these martyrs met their death with little dignity and much exertion. He even attempts to exculpate the mice (such is the malice of bigotry) by declaring that the unfortunate women perished, some from exhaustion, some of broken necks from falling over their own feet, and some from lack of restoratives. The mice, he avers, enjoyed the pleasures of the chase with composure. But if "Roman history is nine-tenths lying," we can hardly expect a smaller proportion of that rhetorical figure in the annals of a people capable of so incredible cruelty to a lovely women; for a hard heart has a false tongue.
Any one of numerous species of small rodents belonging to the genus Mus and various related genera of the family Muridæ. The common house mouse (Mus musculus) is found in nearly all countries. The American white-footed mouse, or deer mouse (Peromyscus leucopus, formerly Hesperomys leucopus) sometimes lives in houses. See Dormouse, Meadow mouse, under Meadow, and Harvest mouse, under Harvest.

Fluffy (the cat)'s nemesis. An advanced input device to make computer errors easier to generate.
A device about the size of the palm of your hand that one rolls around on a flat, smooth surface to move the computer's cursor (pointer) quickly over the screen. As the mouse moves, a plastic ball on the bottom creates signals that move the cursor on the screen. Clicking the buttons on the mouse sends signals equivalent to those that are generated by various keyboard combinations. For example, clicking the left button rapidly twice in succession usually is equivalent to pressing the Enter key. So named because its slender connecting cable reminded someone of a mouse's hairless tail.
A commonly used input device that has one or more buttons for the user to interact with a computer. Also used as a generic term to include other pointing devices that operate similarly (for example, trackballs and headpointers).

Hold up the parts of your computer by the cord. When you get one that faintly resembles what your cat left dead on the steps, that is the one. If you might forget, paint eyes on it.
A hand-held pointing device which allows a user to provide input to the computer by pointing at menu selections or by drawing as one would do with a pen. A mouse is typically palm-sized and contains up to three buttons.
An input device to control the cursor (pointer) on the screen. This is used in many different ways depending on the program you are running. Generally they are all associated with "pointing" at something on the screen and clicking one or more of the buttons. Return
An input device connected to the workstation that determines the location of the pointer. The basic features of a mouse are a casing with a flat bottom, designed to be gripped by one hand; one or more buttons on the top; diredtional detection device on the bottom, such as a ball or optical sensor; and a cable that attaches the mouse to the workstation.
A palm-size input device with a ball built into the bottom; used to move a pointer to draw, select options from a menu, modify or move text, and issue commands. multimedia The presentation of information using graphics, video, sound, animation, and text.

A device attached to a personal computer by a cable, which is manipulated by hand to enter data, select processing options, and move the cursor on the screen.
A required small peripheral usually used to control the position of the cursor on the display. Nearly all mice these days are optical mice, this means they track their position on a surface using a (very small) camera underneath them. Some mice use a laser to track their position (which is typically more accurate) but this hasn't proved to be of much practical advantage. Some mice are wireless, this means that they communicate with the computer over radio or infrared instead of through a cord from the mouse to the computer.
Hand held (puck-like) object used for controlling the position of the cursor on the screen for pointing and drawing purposes. Mouse is moved horizontally on a tabletop and cursor moves in corresponding direction on the screen. Mouse usually has two or three function buttons which are used to indicate action to be performed (accept, reject, etc.).
Not the furry little rodent, a computer mouse is a small device that fits in the palm of your hand and has a “tail†of a wire that connects the computer and moves the cursor via a rolling ball on underside. Some variations include the mouseâ€(tm)s rolling ball being replaced with a light sensor, track ball rolled with fingers, and touch pad which moves cursor by sliding a finger.
A pointing device which is used to control the operation of the computer, such as starting up Word (or some other application program), positioning the insertion point (see definition below) in a document, or selecting an item from a menu. A pointer (an arrow or other shape) moves across the screen as you move the mouse across a flat surface [ Note: A track ball is another type of pointing device that may be used instead of a mouse.

A pointing and input device that allows the user to control the movement of the cursor to any area of the monitor screen.
The device that enables you to point to and click or drag objects to select and act upon them instead of having to use the keyboard. Unlike a typical Macintosh, a typical mpouse for a PC has two buttons. Although the left button is used for most functions, "right-clicking" (pressing the right mouse button) can enable you to perform alternate functions.
A pointing device used as an alternative to keyboard control for positioning the cursor and interacting with a GUI. With a mouse plugged into your computer, you can guide the blinking light on-screen (the cursor) to draw, move data, and open and close files. "Clicking" the mouse means pushing the mouse's button to highlight or activate a particular file or activity.
A small device (usually connected to the keyboard) which you move across the top of your desk to manipulate the pointer or cursor on your screen.
