Hi, Anne.  Agree with you on being a keyboard person.  Not very productive when 
you have to go between the trackpad/mouse and back to the keyboard.

I turned off the trackpad commander, and guess what - no more mice skating 
around.  seems that when I installed Mountain Lion, it assumed I wanted 
Trackpad Commander.  I'd forgotten that in Snow Leopard, I think I had a 
similar problem, but turned it off.

Oh well, the wonders of using two different systems.
