Unless I notice it, I end up with a strange book waiting for me.

i've noticed this with my optical mouse... i think maybe some dust gets in the red eye sensor and reflects the pointer somewhere different. my pointer also sometimes will randomly jump to the other side of the screen, but this never happened before when i had a trackball. usually i can fix it by blowing on the sensor to remove any theoretical dust...
