My first thought: What a stupid idea.

My second thought: But I can see how someone not well versed in how computers
work might think that should work though.

My third thought: But really, now often do you actually move mice between
computers? All my computers that need a mouse already have a mouse.

My fourth thought: What a stupid idea.
