Thanks Sandy for this idea.
I've never tried Kim's site. It looks like it is a club and you have to pay
to use it? Is this correct? I was unable to access the archives without a
password.
But I sure liked your other suggestions.
Great help in itself.
Thanks to you and others who have written me in reply to my post today.

Check out the Kim Komando Tip Of The Day archive. There is a tip
about disabling notebook computer mice. The link for her site is,
www.komando.com
That mouse is a pain in the head for sure. You can be transferring
files to the BP, and, if you are like I am, you rest your palm, and
you click it inadvertently. The keyboard for my desktop is
ergonomic. It is split in the center with a palm rest. This is
supposed to prevent wrist problems. I guess it does. I haven't had
any. Back to the subject at hand... I got a Logitech wireless
keyboard for my laptop. It works great. Not only that, but you can
configure Jaws to work as if your laptop was a desktop.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14 A .
11 For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are
plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me
in earnest, you will find me when you seek me. 14 I will be found by
you," says the Lord.
