I'm reading "pixel" but that > doesn't seem right. The "units" of pointing devices are a Great Dark Secret, only shared with people who play with them. Mouse distance is measured in "mickeys". The definition of a mickey depends on a number of things. Usually (at least in my experience), without acceleration, a mickey is the number of pixels moved by the pointer per inch moved by the mouse. Add acceleration into the equation, and things get weird really quickly. No, I'm not joking. :-o - Philip -- Philip Paeps Void where prohibited philip@freebsd.org hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 142.
