   In a message dated 01-21-15, Alan Zisman said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Good evening Alan, long time no read ;o)   
      
   I'm a bit late in my program tonight since my relatives wanted to   
   celebrate my birthdate.   
      
    HG> If it is a roller mouse, open the bottom of it, no tools necessary, let   
    HG> the ball fall out and clean out the accumulated dust. Reassemble.   
      
   AZ> My favourite odd mouse repair was with Apple's so-called Mighty   
   AZ> Mouse - a white no-button mouse with a tiny ball for scrolling   
   AZ> up/down/left/right...   
      
   I have no recollection of that one ...   
      
   AZ> See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Mighty_Mouse   
      
   ... so I'll have a look at it.   
      
   I remember though having seen a Mac mouse with only one button,   
      
   AZ> Often, the ball would become unreliable - the fix: turn the mouse   
   AZ> upside down over a piece of white paper and roll it around so that   
   AZ> the ball is rubbing on the paper.   
      
   Yes, if the bottom can't be opened for cleaning out the rubbish that   
   apparently works.   
      
   I have had all kinds (makes) of M$ compatible mouses and even for an old   
   486 machine a Logitech bus mouse. Those oldies didn't have a mouse port   
   so an extension card had to be inserted for the mouse and the Logitech   
   card didn't accept a M$ mouse.   
      
   While I have your attention I want to ask a question. In my list of   
   christmas greetings I have "Shana Tova" for hebrew. Another list shows   
   the same wording for Happy New Year. Is that correct?   
      
   Have a nice day,   
      
   Holger
