[AT] Off topic mouse problem

[Mike Sloane]

I don't have that particular mouse, but most of them are press fit and 
need to be pried apart to get inside. Generally, when a mouse starts 
acting up, if cleaning the mouse ball area (in the old mechanical 
versions) doesn't work, I simply replace them. You can usually pick up a 
new replacement for under $10 these days, and it is well worth getting 
rid of the aggravation (at least to me). You might try taking the mouse 
down to the shop and giving it a shot of air from the compressor and 
blowing out any junk that got inside. (tractor reference?)
