Mmm hacky

So a few weeks ago, I bought a 500mhz iMac DV. I've never got around to bringing it home from work, so it's just been sitting there. I had issues with the mouse (Apple Pro Optical) when I last tried to use it, but put it aside until earlier this week. It turns out, like for many other people, the mouse cable has broken internally, due to insufficient strain relief, so it only worked if you push the cable into the mouse. Not a good solution.

I came across this page, which talks about how to get into the mouse. Basically, it's epoxied closed, and there's no way you can put it back together properly once opened. I found another version which uses a little more finesse and a hacksaw to get into it, but really, I didn't care, I have several of these mice, and frankly I prefer Microsoft ones. But being bored and having the tools, I opened mine up and fixed the cable. Like the guy says, it is *really* fine cable. After ascertaining that it all worked, I pondered what to do next...
