Does my mouse hate electrical storms?
An odd question perhaps but here goes.
Last night I turned on my laptop, which has one of those pads that you can use to control the cursor. It didn't respond properly and the cursor either didn't move at all or seemed to have a life of its own. I rebooted the computer, went and washed my hands in case something on them was causing the problem, wiped the pad, and it was the same. So I plugged in a mouse and that also didn't work properly. This has never happened before.
About half an hour later we had a massive electrical storm, very impressive, and after that it worked properly.
My question is, could some sort of static electricity in the atmosphere have caused the problem, or was it just coincidental?
