[comp.sys.atari.st] mouse problems in London!

Regarding the recent probems with mice, I shouls probably talk about the
problem I have just being having with mine.  On Thursday morning, I awoke
to find that it would not move up, yet it would move down.  After some ex-
perimentation, I found that the problem seemed to be allievated by tightening
or loosening the four screws that hold the mouse together.  I now have it
working once more, although the amount of clicking that the left mouse requires
is now negligible.  I have replaced it with a MALAYSIAN mouse, as previously
I had a TAIWANESE mouse.  I do not if one or the other is better, or if
this "fix" for the TAIWANESE mouse will work for others, but I offer it
none the less for your edification.

My mouse was on the verge of giving up the ghost.  I would have to 
click many times for it to recognize the click.  I took it apart and
squirt some 'tuner tonic' from Radio shack on the microswitches and
it is as good as new.   I bought my 520 st when they first came
out, so my mousie is just wearing out, I think.
