Man you let on like you've never seen a mouse II before. They've been
around since '93, although they make those crappy USB mice now instead.

There is one or two screws, depending on who made the mouse, hidden under a
sticker on the bottom. Run your finger over the sticker until you feel a 
circular depression or depressions. You've found the screw hole(s) then.

BTW these were made in several different countries and vary in quality.
Here's a breakdown:

made in China: heavy ball, nice solid button click, best of the bunch
made in Taiwan: less firm click, heavy ball
made in Malaysia: button falsely sticks on Macs occasionally, sometimes
has lightweight ball, avoid if you have a choice
