if your mouse dint work for a day would u be able to manage?

yup
if person knw computer very well then for one day it can be easy to work with out mouse keyboard has so many shortcut keys which will help u

OH noooooooooooooooo!!!!, I can really get crazy if mouse does not respond. Though I know how to handle with key board but still....it is too time consuming and complicated and most of the things I have forgotten because we are so much use to mouse........so I take care of my mouse and see that no cat tries to gallop it..... .......for me mouse is very important.....I have not tried new ones which are handled by fingers.....how about that.........Have you tried it.

I did have to make it work once when my mouse broke. Af first it would just not work right every now and then, then it just quit.
Some things I just could not do, like my banking. The way it is setup I have to use my mouse.
I ended up just buying a new mouse.
The one I had was the cheapy one that came with the computer so I found myself a good one from Logitech.

Sure, sure, back in the day when I was tech support, I used to occasionally teach people how to use winders without a mouse, when theirs was broken.

When your aware with all the shortcuts and you got a well perform keyboard then you can manage even without a mouse. Even me sometimes use my keyboard in shifting from one page to another using my keyboard and working out in my online application using the "tab" button.

i can't simply manage this. if i have the touch pad on l;aptop still working, still I can do so. otherwise i can't just manage it for sure.

I can do it!Keyboard have all funtion and can insteal of mouse,but there is a big problem,no mouse is really niggling.

well...
i use a touchpad as i have a laptop, so i think i will be fine...
but if i do not have that either,
i think i will not be able to cope having no navigation device!!!
hope that does not happen!!!
lol..

Yes, its posible to work on a computer without a mouse. But if it was me, I would just run up to the store and buy another mouse, they're not that expensive and Fred Meyr isnt that far away from my house.

it doesn't matter if you are regular user or not, if you know or have knowledge about the shortcuts keyboard then you can use the computer for a simple thing work, but if you working on a program like photoshop that not help you much. you can still using the numeric pad to take over the mouse function but i a little bit slow:)
