I'm through arguing with them. I have 2 that consistently
work on the //e and not on the IIc/IIc+, and the rest work
on both. If Buggie so desires, I will gladly trade one of my
IIc working models for one of his non-working ones. I can
always use them on my //e, or II+ for that matter. ;-) Of course
I do have 3 IIc's and a IIc+, so if I can offer a working mouse
along with them when I sell them, then having the ones that
do work will be more desirable.
