Rough estimate : How many times have you clicked the left mouse button?
 

Do the math and post your estimate here.

Probably a million

Sounds fair. But I DO hope you didnt buy your first computer last week. :2 cents:

1,578,632 per left mouse click X 3 mouses a year X 3 years = 42,623,064 or something like that :winkwink:

i will tell u when the arthritis starts to kick in

actually ive been counting. 545211524951297295 times.

How many clicks if you click one time each second for 70 years? All seconds counted?

Math people show up

1.5 million times maybe? I've been using computers for like 12 years... so it could probably be more than that.

2209032000

how long did it take you to think up such a shit thread?

pi-r-squared

I couldnt sleep the other day, came to think about it in the attempt.
:glugglug

never

I burned out my mouse ... left click stopped working had to buy a new one

Very nice, even included the 4th year of matter... Cool! :)

All modern mouses have inbuilt click counters for both the left and right mouse buttons. It is the easter egg of computer hardware, and has surprisingly enough gone by largely undiscovered. I didn't believe it when I first heard about it, but the other day I trashed some mouses and decided to open them and see just in case. And lo and behold, I saw that they actually do have click counters, seemingly regardless of brand at that. Both my counters were grey little boxes on the inside rims of the opened mouses, but they may look a bit different for you, depending on brand.

If you don't believe me, get a screwdriver and check for yourself. It will take you 2 minutes. :2 cents:

Exactly 0 times having a mac.

Vary rarely..only by mistake

all the time mine is set up for the right button. if you want you can set yours as a right button mouse.

NOt sure but in the last two years I have gone though 4 mice:glugglug

millions.

do i count the twitches while i'm sleeping?

You know it takes 6800 mouse clicks to burn one calorie, so click it ~ 2720000 times a day and you probably aren't going to need to exercise anymore.

Of course you burn calories a lot faster sleeping, but I'm saving that for my next book.

i dont really use it all that much, maybe 10 times a day if that

This current mouse, about 831,600 times (there's a spot where i've worn the polish off of the button from clicking it) that's figured at an average of 7.7 clicks per minute, 10 hours a day. But how many left clicks have I clicked my whole life? Well back to hahahahahahas 3.1 heh...I'm guessing about 11,642,400 clicks.

Heh, but a better though, how many keystrokes do you do a day ... and your whole life?

I figure I type about 30,000 keystrokes a day on average, so that'd be 27,000,000 on this keyboard, and 453,600,00 just since the hahahahahahas key on a keyboard came out :) Ok too much thinking i'm goin to bed.

Hit the nail on the head :thumbsup

Probably around 14,872,372 times (on average)

558403

most likely somewhere around 500 million if not more.

been using computers for the last 15 years and i've been using them at least 12-14 hours a day for the last 5-6 years.

I can't count that high! :1orglaugh

...I wonder how many people are gonna break their mice tonight after trying that :1orglaugh

Millions

too much:Graucho

Mine looks pretty worn, the color has come out of the plastic:feels-hot

In 15 years.... Lets say you've clicked on time each second...
Thats... 60*60*24*365*15=473.040.000
Thats... 473 millions.
If you clicked EACH SECOND.
Tho, a billion is quite large actually.... :2 cents:

I couldnt even begin to fathom...poor little guy

Eleventy Billion $

four hundred and twenty million

at least a million times per year

i dont know but if i could earn 1/10 of 1 cent from each click, from 10 webmasters I would be game! I am not greedy but could live quite comfortable

not sure - but does it matter?

my finger hasn't fallen off yet.......so, i guess not enough
