What to get an MSE Towers Employee....?

How about The MouseJiggler:-
The MouseJiggler is a USB device that simulates a jiggly mouse. This means the computer thinks the mouse is live and the screensaver/password prompt won't come up.


Thus helping out the person who has to stop Martin's screensaver kicking in during the filming...

    If only my birthday wasn't another nine months away - that'd be all I'd wish for, to save my poor wrist from aching week after week :smiley:

    Gosh it's a demanding job! :p

    I can never see the email on the screen anyway. It's just to small.

    Instead of worrying about the screen blanking, Embrace it! :D

    Would only take a few minutes to whip up a Moneysavingexpert.com screensaver that cycles through a few useful slogans, logos, and puts up the MSE url in huge letters.

    You never know...if ever Martin's filming anything for TV at MSE HQ a computer in the background might go to screensaver and flash up the site address at an opportune time ;)
