Hey, I got it -- how about making sure that the dongles pass the mouse port
along...  that way you could have four or five of them hanging out the port
and still have the mouse plugged in.... :-)

Ooh, even better; now that we have an Amiga with expansion slots, how about
providing a "copy protection board" -- it has to be plugged into a slot in
order for the program to work.  Copying a PC board is even more trouble
than copying a manual.  Yeah, that's it...
