Amusingly, not a day after I wrote that, my current Logitech mouse
started having problems. (It's the mousewheel; it's always been a
problem. It accumulates crud /beneath/ the mechanism where it's really
hard to pry out. In the past, I've been able to clean it. This time...
not so much. Either that or the lubricant on the hub has gone all
sticky, and that's nowhere I can get to easily either. Either way, it
doesn't spin smoothly.) 

Electronically, though, it's fine. If I never used the wheel, I could
keep using it for years to come. Heck, I could still use the wheel
now; it just takes a lot of effort to scroll. But it's easier to just
replace it.

Still, I'm amused at the mouse having issues NOW, after having praised
Logitech. I guess the Universe was listening, and she has a sense of
irony. 

And yes, I'm replacing it with another (identical model of) Logitech
mouse. 



(in the meantime, I've a spare. Only three buttons, though; how
primitive ;-)
