For a couple of months ago I were at a computer-exhibition in Denmark.
Commodore had of course also a place there!  Some of the people at
Commodore were using another mouse than Commodore's own for the 
demonstration, I asked them why?  They said :  "Well, the Commodore
mouse is too bad - we shouldn't really sell such mouse with the
A3000" !!!  (This is _NOT_ something I make up!).
A lot of my friends has had problems with their mouse, but never me!
(I've had Amiga since the first A1000 arrived in Denmark).  Now I
invested _A_LOT_ of money in the A3000-25-100, and after just a 
week the mouse broke down!  How can this be?  I buy a computer for
almost USD $9500 and the mouse breaks down after a week?  How can
Commodore sell a computer with such an amateurish made mouse?!
Don't get me wrong here, I like the design and the touch of it...But
this is a vital part of the computer-environment it CAN'T be of such
a bad quality.  I bought a new mouse, of another brand (Golden Image)
and I must say that know I'm REALLY satisfied....
If Commodore wants to hit the professional market, don't get a bad
reputation just because of the mouse eh?!
(I don't think I'm the only one who have had mouse problems!)
