 I've heard a number of complaints about commodore's quality control.  All
 I can say is I've never had a problem more serious than slightly sticky
 keys on my vintage, pre-EHB mode, 1985 A1000.  My mouse works fine.  It
 does seem a little heavier than the mouse on my friend's 2000, but I kind
 of like that.  It feels a little more solid.  There are probably a number
 third party mice out there.  The one that seems to get the most praise
 is the Boing optical mouse.  I think it is the same one Sun uses.
