  Sorry Greg, but I doubt that's it....  Many people I know leave
their machines on 24 hours a day (at home).  I've had mine "on" for
nearly 4 years now with the only mouse failure being when the little
rollers inside the mouse got dirty.  I cleaned them up and used a
mouse-pad after that and haven't had a problem in the last 3 years...
(This is the typical mouse failure story from many of the people I've
spoken to...)
