The mouse was invented in 1964 by Douglas Engelhard who worked for the Stamford research institute where the term mouse was first used. The term came from the fact that early mouse models had a cord or tail extending from the rear of the device suggesting a mouse like look.

Which is the Best Motherboards out of these? Hi I am currently looking for a motherboard to go in my custom built computer but to be honest im not 100% what to look for in boards, I need my computer for gaming and multi tasking as I download films too, I have so far narrowed it down to 5 which each have links below I would be very grateful if people on here who know what they are talking about would take a look and give their opinion on which is the best, you may notice they are all in the same price range because I'm hoping to spend no more than £150 for a good board with a 775 socket as I have an Intel Q6600 Quad Core CPU. OK here goes: http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?prod... http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?prod... http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?prod... http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?prod... http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?prod... Or indeed if any of you hardcore gamers out there know any better boards for the price let me know.

Twice now I have bought RAM to upgrade my computer. 512 MB and 256 MB. Both times they appear on My Computer " Properties" as 256 MB and 128 MB respectively. I don't think this is coincidence. Is there a setting that I need to be dealing with? Thanx

Does anyone have a solution to a Dymo LabelWriter 400 powering off? There is no on/off switch so a little blue light is on all the time. In a perfect world, manufacturer would admit to making a mistake in these 'green' times and recall it an substitute a newer model. Optionally, they could provide a separate in-line switch. Anyone have any ideas?

A little graphic upgrade problem? What should I do? I recently upgraded my PC to P4 3.4 Dual Core and with Intel D946board and 512 MB DDR2 RAM, and the sound, video and lan are inbuilt and even I was told that it can provide enough graphics for games. So now the only thing I haven't upgraded is the monitor which is 6 years old. OK the main problem is when I started this game Half-life 2 Episode 1, my screen went black and well it wasn't working, and when I tried to change the refreshing rate then also the same problem. So where is the problem, is it the monitor or do I need a graphic card, and if yes then which graphic card will be suitable for my PC config? Thank you.

The family computer based in the lounge is connected to the Internet via a phone line. It is a broadband connection. Someone has suggested that I could use two wifi usb adapters to use the Internet on a second computer in a spare bedroom about 10metres away. By connecting one adapter to the main computer and the other adapter to the second computer, would I be able to access the Internet and transfer data, etc. I am also confused about the terminology - I have read about bluetooth, wifi, wireless network, usb "dongle" !! Can somebody advise please? Thank you.
