Train:

I tried you suggestion about changing my mouse pointer to move faster and my mouse does seem to move more smoothly over the game board--not sure if it is any faster, but it feels less like it is dragging. I only played 1 short game with it because I had a more major problem with my computer to work on, so only time and a few more games will tell me if this mouse is going to do what I want it to do. For now I have to go and post a very big problem I am having with FF. Thanks a lot, and I will mark this problem as solved.
