re:  Dead mouse (left mouse button)
 
I had the same problem with my 'well-used' mouse.  I got another year out
of it by:
 
         a.  taking out the ball and gently cleaning the built up oil and
             guck off the metal rollers and reassembling it
         b.  opening up the mouse and using a piece of light card and
             masking tape to reduce the space between the contact
             and the plastic by the button
 
When that finally wasn't enough any more, after almost five years, I
bought a new mouse.  I got the GoldenIMAGE GI-500 (for my 1000) for about
$39.95.  Wish I'd done it sooner.  It's fast, comfortable and probably
better than the Commodore mouse was when it was new.
