MOUSE BALLS:
I don't know how they wrote this with a straight face...This apparently
was
a
real memo sent out by a computer company to its employees in all
seriousness.
It went to all field engineers about a computer peripheral problem. The
author of this memo was quite genuine. The engineers rolled on the
floor!
Especially note the last couple of sentences.
RE: Replacement of Mouse Balls.
If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform irratically, it may
need a
ball replacement. Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field
Replacement
Units). Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, properly
trained
personnel should only attempt replacement of mouse balls.
Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the
underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than
foreign
balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer
of the
mouse. Foreign balls can be placed using the pop off method. Domestic
balls
are replaced by using the twist off method.
Mouse balls 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 balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction.
Any customer missing his balls should contact the local personnel in
charge
of removing and replacing these necessary items. Please keep in mind
that a
customer without properly working balls is an unhappy customer...
