Sure...all he needs is the mouse itself.  Speaking of which, I have a 
new //e mouse that I have rarely used so if anyone's interested, please
send me mail.

Also you might mention to your friend that although he might have a mouse,
he shouldn't expect his //c to act like a Mac or a //gs.  He'll need soft-
ware that supports the mouse, probably either Multiscribe or the GEOS integrated
package.  Otherwise he'll end up with an unused mouse and using something like
Appleworks.
