Hi!

I'm having a problem with my A+ optical mouse.  It all of a sudden stopped
working with my Mac.  Moving the mouse doesn't make the cursor move, even
the button doesn't work anymore.  In addition, I turn the mouse over, and
the light that shines out the bottom isn't working.

I plugged in my old Apple mouse and it worked fine.

Soooo, I brought the A+ mouse back to Egghead software where I bought it
from (plug for Egghead, they are VERY friendly when you come in with a
problem...., they were more than willing to help me out, BTW I have no
affiliation with them other than as a satisfied customer....).  They
plugged the mouse into their system and it worked fine.  They gave me
a new mouse anyway to bring home and try, but alas, no help.

Soooo, I have an A+ mouse which works fine (works on another Macintosh),
and I have a Macintosh that works fine (works with another, non-optical
mouse), but the two don't work together!!!!!!

Anyone have any ideas what's wrong?

BTW, I have a Macintosh 128k, upgraded to a 512k, upgraded to a Mac+ using
the MacDoctor upgrade.  Other than the mouse problem, the system works
fine.  The mouse was working fine for a couple months before it suddenly
stopped working.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can supply.
