Curious George Goes to Micro Center

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? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
