[WEB4LIB] RE: Mouse problems

[Skau, Adele]

Or, of course you can always do what some libraries did way back in the
early '90's when we all went online with InfoPeople--pull out the
superglue!!! If you glue the mouse ball and mouse ball cover they definitely
won't be going anywhere. Of course the patrons won't get very far in their
"surfing" (geez, I hate that phrase) either. ;-)

I'm sorry, it's been a long day and I couldn't resist. We've actually been
lucky (knock wood) cuz we've only had a couple of mouse balls and one
complete mouse disappear.

Again, forgive me, I just needed a bit of humor in my day and I don't mean
to dismiss your problems.

We bit the bullet and replaced the "standard" mice with optical mice. No
moving parts to get "misplaced", and no mouse pads to replace every 3
months either. We used nylon cable ties to discourage the mice from
wandering away.

Has anyone had a problem with missing mouse parts?  And what have you
done about
it?

We just found 6 missing balls and rings this morning.


Thank You for your thoughts.
