This is minor, but I'm wondering if anyone here has ever had this
problem.  Lately, my mouse (serial) cursor will sometimes scoot across
the monitor screen on its own.  It only happens every now & then but
it is nonetheless irritating & I'm worried that it might worsen or
could be a symptom of something more serious.  I'm running Windows 95
using a 5x86-133 based system.  TIA for any input offered that might
help me kill this gremlin.
