Stepping back a moment — Andy Cater wrote "The 30 installs you did resulted in a whole stream of annoyed emails: that was almost entirely because you had a USB serial device. Simplify, simplify, simplify." IIRC the USB serial device taking the blame was probably one of many, attached to "a usb tree that looks like a weeping willow", as Gene put it in February 2022. Anyway, the result was that Gene (yesterday) posted "First, I don't own a wired mouse except the serial interfaced one on my now dead from nearly 40 yo caps trs-80 color computer 3", likely caused by Andy's use of "serial". David Christensen mistook this to mean that Gene had no mouse at all. So now Gene describes his mouse, and takes the opportunity to recapitulate all (some of?) his woes, starting with the speaking installer, and then moving on to the 30-sec requester lag, not forgetting the tbird problem and the freeze. Suddenly the poor old mouse is under suspicion as the source of all Gene's woes. Seems unlikely. I'm in agreement with Andy Cater and Andy Smith. Cheers, David.
