     MEMORANDUM OF THE MONTH

                     SUBJECT:  IBM Ball Replacement

  This is an actual alert to the IBM Field Engineers that went out to
  all IBM Branch Offices.  The person who wrote it was very serious.
  The rest found it rather funny.



Abstract: Mouse Balls available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit)

Mouse balls are now available as FRU. Therefore, if a mouse fails
to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball
replacement. Because of the delicate
nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be 
attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the 
underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than 
foreign balls. Ball
removal procedures differ depending upon manufacturer of the mouse. 
Foreign balls can be replaced using the opo-off method. Domestic balls
are replaced using the twist-off method. Mouse balls are not usually
static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden
discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the
mouse may be used immediately.

It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls for 
maintaining optimum customer satisfaction; and that any customer 
missing his balls should suspect
local personnel of removing these necessary items.

To reorder, specify on the following:

P/N 33F8462 - Domestic Mouse Balls
P/N 33F8461 - Foreign Balls
