This is an actual alert to IBM Field Engineers that went out to all IBM Branch Offices some years ago. The person who wrote it was very serious. The rest of us may find it rather humorous.

Mouse Balls

Update to Field Engineers: Mouse Balls Available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit)

Mouse Balls are now available as FRU. Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate
or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Because of
the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be
attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the
underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be harder and larger than foreign
balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending on the manufacturer of the
mouse.

Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls
are replaced using the twist off method. Mouse Balls are usually not 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 engineer carries a pair of spare balls for
maintaining optimum customer satisfaction, and that any customer missing his
balls should suspect local personnel of removing these necessary items.

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

I have examined my mouse as instructed and it has one large red ball on its left side........might have to get him checked at the vets!

Oh and when I dropped him, the ball fell out and rolled across the floor.....................I managed to insert it in its hole again though! :))

balls

2) excessive handling can result in sudden discharge

The last one did, it's amazing how much fluff they collect.
