Never mind, 5 minutes after I posted this I found a solution. Well, a partial solution anyway. I had been trying a number of Logitech and Microsoft mice with the Mac and none of them would work. Finally, I decided to try a Genuine Apple(tm) Mouse - and it worked. I guess the M$ mouse driver on the Mac got corrupted and was interfering with any non-Apple mouse. Just a guess though...it's been a very strange couple of days.
