I was just thinking this the other day. I also remember that you had to open the mouse to clean it because the little internal rollers got tangled in grossness.

And the balls in the mice at school would get thrown around the room/lost/stolen until the computer teachers glued them shut so you couldn't clean the rollers and it was almost impossible to use them

They had that softness that made them feel harmless, but their weight was unmistakably dangerous.

Administering a school where there were no computer mice (but were computers)... Is there a picture for that?
