Keep your mouse out of the way when typing

Do you hate when you are typing and your mouse pointer is in the way making it hard to read what you are typing? If so, you should try out MouseAway. It's a small application that detects when the focus cursor (the one where letters get put when you are typing) gets near the mouse cursor. When they get close to each other, it moves the mouse cursor away slightly so that you can see what you are typing.

Here's an example of it working (taken from the MouseAway site):
