You're Click-Happy, But Who's Counting?

There was a project called the Dolphin project or something that tracked keystrokes... and there were many WIndows 3..1 (!) and MacOS 6 (!) apps that were mouse odometers. Dunno about mouse clicks themselves though, but it ought to be easy to do in software. Still, are we gonna get "10,000 clicks to a better life" health books now? (It's said 10,000 steps daily will keep one in shape.)

I thought everyone counted their click everyday and kept track of em using MySQL??? Am I wrong?

I think the original intellimouse software did something like this. It may have measured how far you moved your mouse.

Errr . . I'm no computer science engineer rocket scientist or nothin'. . . but couldn't this be done in software, without the hemoraging mouse display?
