Default A Different Kind Of Computer Virus

"Most people don't give much thought to the grime that builds up on their PC, but if you don't clean your computer you might as well eat your lunch off the toilet."

Ew...Your Keyboard Could be Dirtier than a Toilet Seat!

"Computer mice are three times dirtier than the average toilet seat."

Re: Replacement of mouse *****

If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Mouse ***** are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Units).

Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse ***** should only be attempted by properly trained personnel. Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse ***** by examining the underside of the mouse.

Domestic ***** will be larger and harder than foreign *****. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign ***** can be replaced using the pop off method. Domestic ***** are replaced by using the twist off method.

Mouse ***** are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge.

Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately. It is recommended that each person have a pair of spare ***** for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer missing his ***** should contact the local personnel in charge of removing and replacing these necessary items.

Please keep in mind that a customer without properly working ***** is an unhappy customer.

I've been using a laser mouse for years. No need to remove a ball.

Yeah, that memo is a bit antiquated, but still funny. All of my pointing devices are laser also - except for one - but it penetrates like a laser. :p
