Thought the list might appreciate this....
I don't know how they wrote this with a straight face. This apparently
was a real memo sent at a computer company to its employees in all
seriousness... This memo is from an unnamed computer company. It
went to all field engineers about a computer peripheral problem.
The author of this memo was quite serious. The engineers rolled on the
floor.

Re: Mouse Balls
-----------------------------------------------
Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit).
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 larger and harder than foreign balls.
Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of
the mouse.
Foreign balls can be replaced 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 replacer have a pair of spare
balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer
missing his balls should suspect local personnel of removing these
necessary items.
