Good set of mouse cursors slightly larger than extra large

[r]

I recently upgraded to a 1600 x 1200 monitor and discovered that
my mouse cursors were bit small.

I tried the extra large cursors but they were less than ideal.

Searching on the net I found some free cursors at
http://qjc.cjb.net/ that were pretty good. The set included
some following basic shapes of the windows set but bolder and
much easier to see. They were just right for my purposes.

Interesting. Occasionally people post links to some "greatest
since sliced bread" cursors but they're almost always just the
MS crap with different colors. I see this guy actually did what
needed to be done.

I say interesting because I made my own arrow cursor a long time
ago since I consider the stupid Windows arrow totally
unacceptable (for one thing, it is not even symmetrical). My
arrow is partially transparent, I dare say considerably more
elegant that this guy's, while about the same size, and blinks
when in "wait" mode. I consider all other cursors largely
irrelevant. (After 15 years with Windows I have YET to see the
"pen" cursor activate.)

Hmm, your tags are .... ah well ...

So the link checks good then, great, we are getting older and may need
those LARGE icons some day... did you download them and check for safety?

Why should I? I just told you I made my own, and they look
better. It was just a comment made in a moment of boredom.
Anyway, WHY do people always think there's GOT to be malware
everywhere?

YOUR "newsreader" is the single most dangerous piece of software
ever written.
