I have a dead Apple Mouse. All that is wrong with it is that I have apparently
worn out its button, and it remains in the down position. I'd run out the
warranty, of course, and the deal is this: to get a replacement, since they 
won't fix it, they'll take this dead mouse, and charge me $80 for a new one.

I took the damned thing apart at once, and the piece (admittedly attached to a
PC board) looked like it would cost about $3-7 at a RadioShack. I haven't been
able to find one, though. Any ideas? And WE ALL KNOW that they'll take this
"dead" mouse, replace it, at a cost of $10 at most, and resell it as a
replacement for $80. Hmm, I think that I smell a scam here . . .

Anyone have any sources for the mouse button unit? Or want to buy it and do it yourself? I bought a Kensington TurboMouse, and it's much better, and I'll stay
with that, instead. Apple screwed me over on that one, for sure. Sigh.

Later!
