I will never look at my mouse the same again...... poor lil guy....
IBM Mouse Balls..."Memo of the Month"
This is an actual alert to IBM Field Engineers that went out to all IBM Branch Offices. The person who wrote it was very serious. The rest of us find it rather funny.
Abstract: Mouse Balls Available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit)
Mouse balls are now available at FRU. Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.
Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced using the twist-off method. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately.
It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction, and that any customer missing his balls should suspect local personnel of removing these necessary items.

I just love big corporations.
Oh, and I do have to admit I cleaned my mouse ball about a week and a half ago...
michael, was it a domestic ball or a foreign ball? I hope you didn't handle it excessively... ;-)
I'm not sure I like pop-off or twist off.
Silly girl.
I have to clean my mouse balls very often, they get quite the workout with the rats playing on the computer.
I'm with dub, twist off would suck,... oh what did i say???????
I bet one needs special tiny instuments to work on mouse balls.
Funny, but I flat out don't believe it. This has to be satire.
That's hilarious. Are you sure it's real?
