	I'm confused here. Doesn't Commodore have a one year
warranty? I realize that isn't the same everywhere in the world,
but there must be at least a 90 day warranty. Nothing is 100%. No
company, no matter how professional, makes everything perfect.
That's why you get a warranty. I notice you are @icoast.UUCP.

	So, guess it isn't so amateurish if you like the design
and touch. I've never had a mouse FAIL, although I did have the
left button start to wear out on one, after a year. The mouse is
a very heavily worn component of your system. Banging on a button
over an extended period of time will cause trouble.
	I still remember Defender of the Crown and banging on the
left mouse button repeatedly to win the swordfight. My mouse was
probably very unhappy with me. 8)
