I have had trouble with my mail delivery, but the only suggestion I have
received to date is to include a mouse even though it will not be used.
While this is fine for 1-5 installations, it becomes very bothersome for a
product, not only does it look unprofessional to have a mouse stuck in my
electrical cabinet, as well as introducing a very strange failure mode (try
saying this to your customer: "I understand that the keyboard isn't working,
just replace the mouse somebody stole and then reboot").

My finial statement is this:  That $3 el cheapo mouse costs more like $40 -
$500 in a low volume production environment when you have to handle and
stock, and every time you go to the computer store you need to find a new
model since the last style you bought is "soo last week" </rant>

Please help
