What's with the pointer on the screen shooting off all over the place??? I am using my new G5 (although it did it on my G4 powerbook) and the pointer randomly just flies off to various points on the screen, this is extremely annoying when your doing close-up touch ups in photoshop... What is the reason for this, does anybody know?

happens with an optical mouse sometimes, too rare to be annoying though.

I had that problem with the optical mouse on a smooth surface. Get a mouse pad. The rougher the better.

It is not the mouse. It is the surface that you are sliding the mouse around on.
If the surface has any 'reflective' properties whatsoever you will be seeing the mouse freak out from time to time. I agree this is TOTALLY ANNOYING, yet fixable.
A fabric table cloth will work, as will a news print, or neoprene mouse pad.
good luck
