Okay, well I've just come from our friendly campus computer center.  Anyone
want to comment as to why a replacement mouse for my Mac Plus, if I trade in
the dead one, costs $75 when it only contains:  4 pieces of custom plastic,
two axles w/rollers and light gates, two led's, two sensors (phototransistors?)
one smaller axle w/roller, four resistors, two IC's, a micro-switch, and a
molex plug mounted on a PC board, plus a rubber-coated ball-bearing and a 
spring????????

I can't believe they're serious.
