[re old IBM mice]
jeez, i just round filed dozens of them a while back!
the buttons start
getting dodgy after long term use.
So did I! Someone brought in a paper grocery sack full of them and wanted
to sell them. When I said no, they just left the shop, and left the mice
behind, so I chucked 'em.
Are you sure that's not a PS/1 mouse in the photo? The ones I trashed were
exactly like the photo, but I didn't think they were the really early mice.

It was the current IBM mouse 1987->1992+/- for many things
of the time. They go for $1->$4 at flea markets and $5->$10
on eBay. There were probably earlier IBM mice, but not as
largely sold as that one. FWIW they're decent mice and I can
'spare' one of my spares for sale.

So is my 33g5430 older? It's oval, with two buttons even with with the
rest of the surface.... they don't stick up :-)
I also have a really small IBM mouse.
