  NOTE:  I don't know how they wrote this with a straight face.
 Apparently, this was a real memo sent by 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.


   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.
