  Platform: Windows (95 through 11, Server 2003/2008)


DESCRIPTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Mime Mouse restricts the mouse cursor to an invisible 150x150 pixel box
  at a random location on the screen. Every 15 seconds, the box moves to a
  new random position. The victim can move the mouse freely within the box
  but cannot escape its invisible walls -- like a mime trapped in a box.

  The program runs silently with no visible window.


HOW TO USE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  1. Copy mime.zip to the victim's computer
  2. Extract the EXE from the zip
  3. Run the EXE -- the mouse is immediately confined
  4. Enjoy watching them try to figure out why the mouse keeps getting stuck


HOW TO CLOSE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Move the mouse cursor to the TOP LEFT corner of the screen. An about box
  will display, then the program exits and normal mouse behavior is restored.

ANTIVIRUS NOTE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Some antivirus programs may flag this file as potentially unwanted because
  it restricts mouse movement. This is a false positive. The program is safe
  and does not contain malware, spyware, or any malicious code. It can be
  closed at any time by moving the mouse to the top left corner of the screen.
