     To some of you Apple IIGS hardware people out there:

     It seems that I have worn out my mouse plug (frequent unplugging
     and plugging in of the mouse of course) and the loose port is causing
     problems.  I don't know the exact reason, I expect that some kind of
     short in the plug is causing it to generate so many interupts that the
     computer goes into what I call "super slow mode" in which text output
     slows to a trickle (like typing "speed = 50).  It also messed up 
     graphic redraws.  I can usually fix it by wiggling the mouse but it
     gets really annoying.  I called the local Apple dealer and they said 
     that it would cost around $95 to fix the port (probably a $4.00 part).
     I opened up the keyboard and the mouse port look like a snap in part.
     I want to get some advice before I try to fix it so any suggestions?

		Collin

      I do know one thing.  When I do get it fixed, I am going to get an 
      extension cable and plug THAT in to the mouse port and plug the mouse
      into that...
