It appears that someone spilled something into the mouse (and possibly
the keyboard on this machine) the middle mouse button sticks incredibly.
I've tried to clean it up, but it seems to still be not particularly
happy. The room the machine is in has a combination lock on it, so I'm
not sure exactly how this works, but either I or Phyllis Collymore have
the door combination.
The machine was also seeing packet lossage when pinging the 18.78.0.1
router. Other machines both in and outside 18.78 see lossage when
pinging m33-220-1, and not when pinging 18.78.0.1. I jiggled cables,
nothing seemed loose, it looks like it may be happy now. This has been
a recurring problem with this machine and its network connection.
I haven't really been able to figure out what part of the connection
is causing the problem, but it seems to be something local to the machine
(the card, the UTP cable, the wall jack....).
