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:
MEMO:
If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may
need a ball replacement. Mouse balls are now available as
FRU (Field Replacement Units).
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 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.
