I was in a mood and threw my Logitech mouse

against my CRT screen. I have the mx518 model. Put your ear up against it, does yours have a faint buzz? Just curious... so I know it's not slightly damaged.

Mouse is fine, it's your CRT that's screwed.

PMS can be a tricky thing to deal with.

It's actually been renamed Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)...

Wrong again. PMDD is just a severe form of PMS.

"PMS is a made up disorder. It's just an excuse for women to not control their actions."

Never noticed that buzz till you said that. Very interesting.

I've always noticed it. Any CRT screen makes that noise, it drives me crazy. It's also a handy way of seeing if a tv is on or not, while on a black screen, that and the black isn't quite black.

Heh, I usually can tell if the TV is on too, the buzz is actually quite annoying when you can't pinpoint it at first, I can usually hear it most when the picture on the TV is mostly white, sounds like its going to asplode

The buzzing noise that Paft was referring to was the noise from his MX518 mouse, the mouse that I also have and can hear a faint buzzing sound from.

Ooohhhhhhhh...ok then. I don't have that mouse so I wouldn't know. Is the buzz it makes a 20kHz buzz like the monitors or is it a different frequency? Because if it's up near 20kHz I might have to never buy it.

:] It sounds a little like this (yob alarm/ turned ring tone) but weaker and lower pitched. I'm sure you all know about it but supposedly It cannot be heard by most people over the age of 20.
