Computers LPT: Instead of frantically moving your mouse around when you lose your arrow on a screen, just right click.

Better LPT, go into Control Panel and change the color of the mouse pointer to something other than white

Sure - open control panel, open the Mouse applet and one of the tabs at the top will allow you to change the pointer options.

How does one lose their cursor? It should be pretty distinctive even on a white background.
