mouse miles

"Mouse miles" is slang for user time at the computer (as in "I travelled a lot of mouse miles this week") and also an actual measure of how much activity a computer mouse has had over time.

At least two companies offer shareware you can download that will tell you how many miles your mouse has traveled. One product provides a visual warning signal when it's time to clean your mouse.
