I got 240, but it seems you can’t move an Optical mouse to fast or it messes up a bit. ---

I did get 834… …but it was an accident…here is how I did it. Click and hold the hand and drag the hand out of the window at the top. Release the button. Then move the curser around to the left side of the window (without entering it) and then run the curser over the monkey, entering the window from the left side… ---

Yeah, optical mice are slower (I have one) and I only got 288 mph. On the kung foo game however, I got 3019…by beating the boss…he he he.
