First of all, you might consider fixing your mouse. Someone dropped one of ours and it was fairly sick. Would go down fine but up sort of. Having nothing to loose, I took it apart. It worked fine with the cover off. Why? Because the opto-interruptor was out of alignment and outside light supplied a light source at an angle so it would work. So, you just put it in a dark room and tweak the screw that positions it until it works. I did and it did. Then it got dropped again. The final solution: buy a MouseBall from E A Brown. $39 and it doesn't move. Therefore it takes less space and doesn't fall on the floor. -- Phil uunet!pilchuck!ssc!fyl
