An anecodote:
Today, two teachers from my school went to Micro Center to get some
stuff fixed, and took me with them. This was the first time I have
ever been in a tech service room. There was one tech, a woman in her
40's, multitasking. She was only able to fix our printer, which
wouldn't formfeed due to a gob of glue. She "solved" the other two
problems with updates from Apple's site. Anyway, while she was busy
with us, a guy walked in with a Mac Plus mouse. She told him that the
only thing that could be done is to order a new one, if they're still
in stock. One the bright side, she didn't sell him a DB-9 Intellimouse
but I think the only reason a mouse should be replace is if the case
is smashed or it just sucks (Zenix?). How do you expect classics to
survive in active use if they're thrown away without an attemp at
fixing them? By the way, what's the difference between DB and DE
connectors?
