I wouldn't exactly call this fixing the problem unless the sticky click
failed to return later (which I don't believe was the case, was it?).  It's
interesting that you think the mouse is not the problem.  I would hope that
that would mean a permanent fix will eventually be found.  Is anyone out
there working on this problem?  Any comments from the Apple techies?
