I learned today that a mickey wasn’t just some drink someone gave you to knock you out so they could steal your wallet.
Here’s what a mickey really is according to Webopedia:
mickey
A mickey is a unit of measurement for the speed and movement direction of a computermouse. The speed of the mouse is the ratio between how many pixels the cursor moves on the screen and how many centimeters you move the mouse on the mouse pad. The directional movement is called the horizontal mickey count and the vertical
mickey count. One mickey is approximately 1/200th of an inch.
Cool, huh? 
Learn something. It won’t hurt you none. I promise.
Have a great weekend wherever in the world you may find yourself!
Later…

Gee and I thought it was a rating for software (5 mickeys is high rating for software). LOL!
See. Now there’s another mickey that I wasn’t aware of. I’m still learning… and the day isn’t even over yet.
Well that is likely more of a 5 mouse thing …
But then there’s always the M.I.C….K.E.Y … M.O.U.S.E …Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse…
Egads! My least favorite mickey.
Yes, sadly…Didn’t used to be my least favorite Mickey, but since they aligned themselves against the people by upholding unrealistic and overly long copyright laws and pushed them through for their own benefit not looking at the whole picture for the country…oh, yeah…definitely my least favorite Mickey.
Well, the politics of Disney aside, I just never liked Mickey. I much prefer Jerry, from Tom and Jerry fame, as my favorite cartoon rodent.
Me too! I loved Tom and Jerry!
great… seriously good info ….. It need to be continued…..
