Replacing Mouse Balls!
This reportedly was a real memo sent by Logitech during the late 1980's. As I've actually set this post up in a hurry in advance due to being on holiday, I haven't had time to check it's authenticity as yet, but it's still good for a laugh regardless.
Supposedly it was sent to all field engineers about a computer peripheral problem. The author of this memo was quite serious. The engineers rolled on the floor!
Replacement of Mouse Balls

If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit). 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.
