Good to know in case it happens to me. My wife was using one at school and some kid tripped on the cord and knocked it off the desk.. and then he must have stepped on it, because he broke the mini-switch for the lower LMB... I was able to steal the upper RMB switch to fix it.... Arrrggg. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
