For a couple of months ago I were at a computer-exhibition in Denmark.
Commodore had of course also a place there! Some of the people at
Commodore were using another mouse than Commodore's own for the
demonstration, I asked them why? They said : "Well, the Commodore
mouse is too bad - we shouldn't really sell such mouse with the
A3000" !!! (This is _NOT_ something I make up!).
A lot of my friends has had problems with their mouse, but never me!
(I've had Amiga since the first A1000 arrived in Denmark). Now I
invested _A_LOT_ of money in the A3000-25-100, and after just a
week the mouse broke down! How can this be? I buy a computer for
almost USD $9500 and the mouse breaks down after a week? How can
Commodore sell a computer with such an amateurish made mouse?!
Don't get me wrong here, I like the design and the touch of it...But
this is a vital part of the computer-environment it CAN'T be of such
a bad quality. I bought a new mouse, of another brand (Golden Image)
and I must say that know I'm REALLY satisfied....
If Commodore wants to hit the professional market, don't get a bad
reputation just because of the mouse eh?!
(I don't think I'm the only one who have had mouse problems!)

How can >Commodore sell a computer with such an amateurish made mouse?! I'm confused here. Doesn't Commodore have a one year warranty? I realize that isn't the same everywhere in the world, but there must be at least a 90 day warranty. Nothing is 100%. No company, no matter how professional, makes everything perfect. That's why you get a warranty. I notice you are @icoast.UUCP. >Don't get me wrong here, I like the design and the touch of it...But So, guess it isn't so amateurish if you like the design and touch. I've never had a mouse FAIL, although I did have the left button start to wear out on one, after a year. The mouse is a very heavily worn component of your system. Banging on a button over an extended period of time will cause trouble. I still remember Defender of the Crown and banging on the left mouse button repeatedly to win the swordfight. My mouse was probably very unhappy with me. 8) > >Best Regards, > >InfoCoast /\_ Henrik Brinch \ cbmehq!cbmdeo!icoast!hbrinch >Technologies /\ / \ Kloevervej 7 \ FidoNet 2:230/112.3 >____________/ \_/ \ 2800 Lyngby \ Voice tel. +45 42 87 67 23 > / Denmark \ "C is SILVER - But ASM is GOLD" -- Ethan "Don't forget the importance of the family.

The left botton doesn't work, and the pointer barely moves on the screen. Ok, fine, It's no MAJOR hardware failure, I'll just pick up another mouse for $60 or so. So, then began my mouse from HELL. I ordered a Mighty Mouse from Southern Technologies. I believe it was around $57, and had a lifetime warranty||| I'm using it for a couple of weeks, fine no problems, jus t as good as the commodore mouse, then it hit| I'll be moving my mouse pointer across the screen towards the right, then all the sudden, the pointer jumps 10 0 pixels to the left| This happened in all the directions I'd try to move one way, and it would jump the other. Ok, so I got a bad mouse, it happens. With the lifetime warranty, I send it back. I get another one and it does the exact same thing. Needless to say, I'm on my 3rd Mighty Mouse, and ready to send aw ay for my fourth. My one friend is on his 10th. On my second mouse the opera tor told me they made some changes to the mouse, and that it had a better design.....NOT| -- Mike| MJS108@PSUVM | MJS108@PSUVM.EDU | MJS108@PSUVM.BITNET
