Could it be the dreaded TAIWAN mouse?!?  As far as I can tell from the
postings on the net, the Taiwan mouse is made of cheaper components than
the Japan mouse.  I have a Japan mouse, and the guts are mostly chip-
type capacitors and tiny resistors.  If you need a new mouse, hunt down
one made in Japan.

In a related vein,  anyone know how to hook up an optical mouse to the
ST (or any other machine other than IBMacintosh).  The mice are about
$75 and are _much_ nicer than mice with balls;-)  Should be a pretty
simple effort (if you're an EE).
