heh to tell my age..

I remember one of the first programs you would load on a TRS80 would be "debounce.exe"

Off a cassette tape

Coding was a nightmare without it

Oh well Ill live with it till next month. Power bills this month are outrageous after a 12 day record setting cold snap.

Keybounce, or: how I learned to make 1ms keystrokes.

If your so inclined, get hold of some electrical contact cleaner, and plug in the spray nozzle/tube, pull the mouse apart and spray tightly around the switch push button, in 90% of cases this works well!!

BTW, this spray is also good for cleaning potentiometers (volume controls), when you vary the knob and you hear a scratchy sound (turning responds erratically)!
