justme4now -- I just noticed the ehow.com link. (I must have missed it yesterday.) Thanks ! At least it verifies again that this set-up is possible if done correctly and carefully. kudzu9 -- At the moment, it's the "each person has his/her own mouse" option that I'm looking into. :-) At the same time, it's only going to be practical if we don't have to keep plugging/unplugging. Having one in the regular mouse slot at the back of the computer and one in a usb port is probably the way I will go. Re: your comment about "many mice with all the features you both want," I have been perusing sites to see what kinds of mice are out there, but so far the only mice that have 3 buttons and a scroll wheel are like the one ravencajun mentioned: vertical and/or ergonomic mice. These are appealing but a little out of my price range for a mouse at the moment. It's going to be cheaper for me (and probably more practical all the way around) to just get another mouse -- if I can find any plain ol' 3 button mice out there that don't have a scroll wheel. (I don't know if any other scroll wheel mice can take my excessive middle-clicking.) :-) Anyway, thanks to all for all the input !! I'll be off to check out some computer accessory stores in the next day or so and take it from there. :-)

In my state, 25% of bats carry the rabies virus. That's not good odds, when you wake up with a bat in your bedroom. There have been enough cases of rabies from bats where they could not figure out if the victim was bitten or just touched the saliva or something else. If rabies wasn't fatal once the symptoms start showing, it would be a different story. But the only way to prevent dying from rabies if you have been infected is to get the shots soon enough. Last week, we found a bat in the kitchen sink one morning. Because we sleep with the bedroom doors open, the bat could have been flying in our rooms as we slept. Therefore, it needed to be tested for rabies. A call to the state department of Public Health brought a Fish and Game official to our door less than two hours later. We had the results of the rabies test four hours after that. (It was negative. However the bat was infected with white nose disease, which is killing off a lot of bats in our area.) At no point did anyone from the state suggest that we were fear-mongering or making a mountain out of a molehill. Everyone was polite, concerned and determined to act fast. They took the bat seriously. So did I. There's no need to panic if you find a bat in your house. But there is a need to take it seriously and get it checked for rabies if anyone was asleep in any of the rooms it was in.

Well, I am still battling one! I was dumb enough to release one that I caught and it just came back in and brought a friend. I have now sealed the area where they were coming in, so no more should be able to squeeze through. Yesterday I caught one in a trap like yours bacon - no more mercy! There is one left and I got these new traps that came this morning, I’ve just not had time to set them up.
