Howdy,
 
Is the mouse problem a design problem ?

I don't own a Amiga myself (yet) but a friend does. This friend has his A500
for about a year and expierienced quite suddenly the loss of horizontal
movement. Frustrated by a hardly usable Amiga  he wend to his dealer (You 
try playing marble madness without horizontal movement). This dealer 
told him that he wasn't the first one. After getting a new mouse we opened 
the 'old' mouse but could not find a reason for malfunction.

But to get to the point, the appearing fault almost has to be a design fault, 
because everybody with a problem has the same (horizontal) problem, and
a dealer told there were more mice with their feet up.

Is there someone at Commodore who knows more or who can examine this ?

P.S. this is an international problem too, because this is posted from 
Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
