The watch thing happened to me until the East Coast blackout of 2003. I used to have baskets of dead watches. Since the blackout, I've been able to wear watches. They still die a lot faster than they do on other people if they're battery-powered, but at least I can wear 'em now. I also beta tested a watch for Timex (I kid you not; who knew they beta test watches, anyway?) that had a battery that was supposed to be guaranteed to last three years. It made it nine months on me, which is a personal record. I also have street light, um, issues. However, I have never been kidnapped by aliens. Born of them, perhaps, but not kidnapped by any. :-) Laura

The man cannot wear a watch without it dying within weeks. But thats another story. If you can isolate the symptoms to time of day or even the remote chance its a bad ballast (flouresent lighting used to cause occasional problems with old CRTs), etc. Atleast you can start to wittle things down a bit. But in this case it sounds like RF overlap. Perhaps there is one mouse that is emitting too strong a signal. I was a bit thrown this morning though when I thought I read that this was happening with corded devices as well. Brent Eads Employee Technology Solutions, Inc.
