<p>Hello, <br>
</p>
<p>My name is Michael and I am writing because I am very confused
about a certain tweak, or setting, I suppose is the more
professional term. Anyway, Under the System Settings ⇨
Accessibility ⇨ Mouse Navigation, the settings that can change, in
milliseconds, the Acceleration Delay and Acceleration Time, and
Acceleration Profile, etc., it is the last of these settings and
the last one I mentioned, the Acceleration Profile description
that states that, <i>"This is the slope of the acceleration curve
for mouse key acceleration."</i> I realize that this could all
be for nought because I am not sure whether this states for
either/both the Numeric Keypad and the actual mouse movements,
should it be a situation in which the Keys are not needed (though
still pretty cool). So, <i>initially</i>, I just wanted to know
what the curve translates to, numerically: does a 5 <i>speed up <b>5
times faster</b></i> than say, a value of 1? I suppose I need
to clarify that, I just realized. I mean, if we suppose that 1 is
the baseline and that it means it takes a <b>full second</b>, (or
a<i> thousand milliseconds</i>) to reach full speed and thus a
value of 2 would take 500 milliseconds...and then it gets
confusing because, like the gravitational pull upon any object of
reasonable substance and density by the Earth, if you were on a
3-storey house (I know, I spell it the British way, like <b><i>colour</i></b>,
but the book kind of story, sorry. Never mind) a house that is
about 32-33 feet high, you'd never know that the <b>per-second, <i>per-second</i></b>
rule applies because the fall takes exactly (for the sake of
argument) 1.00 seconds. I guess what I am asking (and complicating
things <i>far</i> more than necessary, thank you OCD) is, would a
value of 3 reach full/terminal velocity in <i>333.3 microseconds</i>,
or would it take <i>250 microseconds?</i> <br>
</p>
<p> <i><b>OR</b></i>, if using 1 as a baseline again, and purely
hypothetical but for the sake of understanding the value
parameters, say 1 goes 10 miles/kilometers per hour. Does not
matter which, as long as we stay with that measurement. Being
American, I am going to use <i>mph</i>. So, <i><b>if</b></i> 1 =
10 mph then, would 2 = 20, 3 = 30, in a linear fashion, or would
it be more along the exponential dimension in that 2 = 20, 3 = 40,
4 =80mph, etc. Please forgive my weirdness. I realize it looks <b>really
weird</b> to basically <i>free-write</i> (<b>i.e.</b> no
editing save typos and what comes out, comes out). Also, I am the
reason the TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) was invented. But I had
to ask, complicated though it may be. I just want to know what is
meant by <i><b>a curve</b></i>, in which <i>one single value</i>
(integer) translates to this <i>curve</i>, which I only know as
plotting out x and y coordinates on a graph, which entails several
(pairs!) numbers versus just one. If you have read through to
this point, number <i>One,</i> Thank You for your patience. And
number <i>Two,</i> Thank You for giving me a bit of the most
precious commodity, <i><b>Time</b></i>. Thanks for your time. You
would <i>really</i> be helping me out if you could email me back
with as simple or as convoluted and complex an answer as you would
like. Anyway, thank you again and may God bless you. <br>

<p> Most Respectfully, <br>
